Coronavirus Pandemic has given new opportunities for some Instagram creators like Shaaan ar to create Breathtaking Instagram filters for Brands worldwide.

Shaaan ar, known by the name Shantanu Gupta, creatively comes upon an idea in the Augmented Reality industry which could support smaller to bigger brands during the Coronavirus pandemic.Since all the businesses are closed due to the global Covid-19 crisis, customers cant try out apparels they wished to buy.

That is where Augmented Reality comes in.It creates a live virtual environment on a camera which could enable people to experiment what they exactly need!

Example – If a brand sells eye wear like sunglasses,it could model the same product into Augmented Reality for its customers to try on their Instagram account.

Augmented Reality creators like Shaaan ar are creating Instagram filters for years.He says that he has an ongoing project with Swiggy India which asked him to create trending gibberish filter , with food items.This could increase exposure of the brand and eventually could lead to more customers.He would soon be working with huge brands in the future.

“It has really been a disastrous year but it also has created opportunities for AR creators like me to work with huge brands and I’m honoured to work with them”says Shaaan ar.

Shantanu Gupta wants to create a startup for creating Augmented Reality filters on Instagram and Facebook which he might do after getting his degree.

For the past thirty years, Kenneth W. Welch Jr. has dedicated his career to improving the quality of life for all people. As the CEO and Founder of SeaDog Systems, Inc., his work as a renowned innovator and entrepreneur has centered on creating sustainable systems for the shared global future.

Specifically, Mr. Welch has led SeaDog in the development of a suite of technologies that run on dam-free hydroelectric technology—harvesting wave power. SeaDog’s wave energy conversion systems harness the energy resonant in ocean waves and induce a pumped flow of carousels that convert the potential energy of waves into mechanical energy. These systems not only operate in harmony with natural ecosystems, but they create cold, clean power with all the benefits and economic performance of hydro dam technology within a portable, scalable, and configurable solution.

SeaDog technologies also provide the dual purpose of not only electrical generation but also desalinating ocean water for freshwater production. The impact of SeaDog technologies in the sustainable energy world has the potential to be staggering, with just 1 square mile field of SeaDog carousels generating enough to power an estimated 1 million homes. (SeaDog Systems Technical Evaluation)

During this difficult time in America, with not only the Covid-19 pandemic but massive protests sparked by the death of unarmed Minneapolis black man George Floyd, Mr. Welch believes it is more important than ever to come together as Americans, regardless of our political leanings. He states that we all have a responsibility during this global crisis to be “Conscientious stewards of our planet… using our new chance and awakening to create a new path forward.”

Mr. Welch is not fearful of having the tough, real conversations. He believes in the beauty of America, and as a patriot that includes freedom of speech, the right to assemble, and to transform our government based on the changing needs of the people. He believes that we can “find a middle ground. Embrace love. Instead of fighting opposites, let’s find our way to the middle.”

Just as Mr. Welch has devoted his vocation to discovering ways to revolutionize how we consume energy, he knows that the same transformation is possible among people. His vision for the future is “free of destruction and strife, where there is a better path for all. We at SeaDog believe in equality. Racism is not a political issue, but a human issue. It is simply not acceptable.”

SeaDog provides innovative and efficient solutions to complex problems, and Mr. Welch expects nothing less from the American people. Through open dialogue, as well as

accountability to historically marginalized voices, we can create a sustainable environment where all people feel safe, protected by the law, and deeply valued. He states, “We are on the brink of a global enlightenment, people’s revolution, and planetary change. This moment in history will bring countries, governments, and all peoples together, forming a new global arrangement aimed at planet revitalization & growth restoration; offering sustainability, profitability, and prosperity.”

“Driven by the passing of the world’s current pestilence, strife, natural disasters, economic mismanagement/corruption, and racial failures,” Mr. Welch is passionate that we must “forge a new world directed at saving the earth, its resources, and its people for generations to come.”

Mr. Welch sees this planetary shift as “a revolt of mind, body, and soul to create a new order of thought uniting nature, its creatures and the peoples of the world, under a new management free from the past, focused on a sustainable, humanitarian growth-based future with many cultures working together.”

About SeaDog Systems:

SeaDog Systems, Inc. was formed in February 2016 and acquired the intellectual property related to its current suite of technologies. SeaDog Systems immediately engaged in consulting contracts with Global Oceanic Designs, Inc. and several key partners that possess the determination, abilities, and resources to bridge the gap between SeaDog Systems’ vision and its tech to reality. A unique team headed by Mr. Welch has committed itself to this mission. For more information on Kenneth W. Welch Jr. and SeaDog, please visit www.seadogsystems.com. or email media.seadog@gmail.com.

There seem to be a lot of differences between Ben Branson and Reynald Grattagliano. Ben is the Founder of Seedlip
and a staunch believer that the new alcohol-free movement is not about mimicry. Reynald, the man who built ArKay, has over 30 varieties of one to one alcohol alternatives. This may to many seem like there could be quite a lot of animosity here however in such a new market there is not room for that.

“Introducing a brand-new product on the market is not easy” says Reynald of ArKay “back in 2011 I was just trying to get people to choose to have an adult drink that had no alcohol in it. The only way I could do that was through mimicry, the whole idea was to eventually step away from that and I applaud Ben and the work he is doing with Seedlip and to take what I started to a new place.” Reynald added “We are currently working with a few people to expand well beyond our current offerings to add some very interesting products that step away from the mimicking ArKay has previously been associated with.”

Non-alcoholic mixers are growing the adult drink category to such an extent that alcohol will soon no longer be the defining quality of an adult drink. Today strong flavors with depth, richness, and some bitterness are leading the way to a world where evening can be both delicious and sober.

About Arkay Beverages

Alcohol-Free spirits are popping up everywhere today. Reynald Grattagliano, the pioneering visionary spark behind the question “is it possible to create alcohol free spirits?” says “We are looking for deep connections. Currently we connect at bars, but alcohol can keep us from connecting deeply.” Therefore, he concentrated on making wonderful drinks that could inspire community but be built on clarity.

ArKay came about due to the lack of options in the alcohol-free adult beverage market. Adults enjoy the vast flavors of alcohol, but today, less and less people are drinking. So, the question arises “what constitutes an adult drink today?” ArKay is a zero-proof beverage flavored to resemble all the alcohols you‘re familiar with, Brandy, Vodka, Rums, Gins and Whiskies of all sorts and even more. Utilizing an extract of capsaicin to create the burn and kick that is so synonymous with alcohol, ArKay is leading the way to the redefining of “Adult Drinks.”

In 2011 wine culture was growing and it was still a foregone conclusion that everyone was drinking alcohol. This was when Reynald Grattagliano introduced ArKay, the first ever alcohol-free spirit alternative to the world. In the US his product was met with ridicule and resistance. Why? Because it had never been considered, “Alcohol-Free Whisky?” No one would have thought that could be possible and new ideas are always met with resistance. ArKay, having survived those early days through the passion and determination of Reynald Grattagliano, is able to see the fruits of its labor even though the idea that was almost a decade ahead of its time.

“Today we’re hearing customers ask for alcohol-free options everywhere and juices and sodas no longer cut it.” expressed local bartender Bill Georges. “Wanting an alcohol-free option doesn’t mean they want a juice box, nor does it mean they have a problem with alcohol. It means they want something with all the flavor and complexity of a traditional alcoholic beverage and want to stay sober.”

For years ArKay looked to position themselves as an option for those who had to abstain for medical, religious, or addictive reasons. Today, ArKay is looking at the growing market it forged and is seeing that, finally, people are beginning to see the difference between a great adult beverage and alcoholic one. Those two can be the same thing but no longer have to be thanks to ArKay.

ArKay has been honing its formula and is providing a beverage that can offer an option for those open to taking it. The world is catching up and we are seeing more alcohol substitutes on the market all the time. ArKay is the grandfather of the Alcohol-Free movement. With 33 different alcohol alternatives, ArKay is the most experienced and is leading the way to the future of the alcohol-free adult beverage industry.

Behind the product is a mission to create this option. “When we create an option, where there was none previously, we open people, and thus communities, to new ideas.” Says ArKay’s founder and Vice President Reynald Grattagliano, while sipping a ArKay Rum and Cola at a café in Arandas, Jalisco where they bottle and ship products to over 180 different countries. The passion that kept Reynald going through the early years, as the rest of the world caught up, is still alive as his conversation is always looking to include the question “What other options are there?” He can see that when it comes to alcohol, although it forged the way forward with its flavors, he can now take the baton and present the world with another option as to where to get those flavors.

]]>Dreamstime is taking corporate responsibility one step furtherhttps://newsreleases.submitpressrelease123.com/2020/06/04/dreamstime-is-taking-corporate-responsibility-one-step-further/
Thu, 04 Jun 2020 15:47:53 +0000https://newsreleases.submitpressrelease123.com/?p=29035As of June 1st, an increase of 10% of the royalty value will be awarded to all contributors.

June 3, 2020. After introducing a series of features for their members during the COVID-19
pandemic and a weekly donation of 5% from all sales to the WHO’s Solidarity Response Fund
in March, Dreamstime is now taking corporate responsibility further and adds a relief stimulusfor its contributors.

Wishing to make a positive difference for their creative community, the agency announces anincrease of 10% of the royalties value, which is to be awarded from all purchases made
beginning with June 1st. The increase will be applied to all royalties generated by purchases
made after the announced date, regardless of the contributors’ exclusive or non-exclusive
status.

As we’re beginning to experience the economic aftermath of the pandemic, businesses should
rise to this momentum’s challenge with innovative corporate responsibility measures. While
donations remain the handiest strategy, it is now imperative that Dreamstime also focuses on
community-centered strategies and develop initiatives that benefit and improve our members’
long term chances, Dreamstime’s CEO Serban Enache explains.

The stock photo industry has experienced its share of economic contraction however, the
agency remains optimistic and hopes to pay its contributors the increased royalties until the end
of the pandemic. We believe that where companies are in a position to help others, leniency,
generosity, and philanthropy are never to be undervalued! Dreamstime’s CEO says.

Many companies everywhere are committing to continually support employees financially and
while Dreamstime is already doing this for their full-time employees, it is now adding an extra
10% financial incentive for the +620,000 creative community. Because no matter how small, all
help matters.

Other pandemic relief measures taken by Dreamstime in March include options for active
subscribers to pause download plans and free subscriptions for NGOs looking for visuals.

The new reality is starting to settle in for us all. Restaurateurs, Chefs, Managers, FOH, BOH etc we are all starting to understand that our industry and our day to day businesses have to adjust to this new working world we are living in. Change is a good thing and we just have to make conscious decisions on how we act on it, we have to stay positive and make the best out of our business lives. The right choice and proper change is not always fun or enjoyable for us. Most of us are creatures of habit. Yes, we as hospitality professionals take it personally, but that is in our nature, we have to persevere or else we will not be here. I have personally enjoyed all the social media posts about my peers and colleagues. Some of the best are- Turning a fine dining restaurant into a commissary for feeding the first responders. Turning a sit down restaurant into a “Togo or Delivery” service space,these are great examples and are amazing to see all these people not stand still. They are still producing quality, great tasting products for consumers!

As we enter into the “New Normal” we have to try and predict what will make our patrons happy and comfortable to choose us to spend their time, money and experience with us. We have to devote a concise and proper way of staying positive during this time. I have total confidence we will accomplish many tasks over the next few months. We must act as we always do, a community that can make suggestions, communicates and assist one another in our industry. Yes again we are in uncharted territory, but I am optimistic that good ideas, good quality food, good sourcing and great minds will see this through!

Many Chefs I know have started personal private home based business- try them out, give them a shot, read and source them in your community. They are enjoying there craft and trying to provide quality meals and products that there community can enjoy!

As part of Broden & Mickelsen’s, Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyers commitment to the First Amendment and criminal justice issues, and subject to our review of the facts of individual cases, we will represent pro bono any persons in the Dallas area who, while exercising their First Amendment rights and responsibilities, were arrested for engaging in non-violent protests to effect social change and social justice.

Dallas, TX –The criminal defense law firm of Broden & Mickelsen strongly support the First Amendment and the right to engage in protests and demonstrations in order to bring about social change and social justice. The late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall once said, “To protest against injustice is the foundation of all our American democracy.” We completely agree.

It has been reported that many non-violent protestors have been arrested in the Dallas area while exercising their First Amendment rights. This is a severe threat to American Democracy. Requiring those arrested for exercising their First Amendment rights to then have to pay for a lawyer further compounds the problem and stifles peaceful protests.

As part of Broden & Mickelsen’s commitment to the First Amendment and criminal justice issues, we stand ready to do our part. We are, therefore, announcing that we will represent pro bono any persons in the Dallas area who, while exercising their First Amendment rights and responsibilities, were arrested for engaging in non-violent protests to affect social change and social justice.

Broward County Sheriff candidate Santiago Vazquez calls for the formation of a new task force to reduce instances of police brutality

Santiago Vazquez, Candidate for Sheriff of Broward County, released a video on Monday evening calling upon Florida law enforcement to implement a new accountability task force in response to recent incidents of police brutality and the subsequent protests that have been sparked across the country.

“The way we police has not changed in decades,” Vazquez said, “but it needs to change now.”

Vazquez is proposing a workable plan that changes the way officers interact on-the-scene with members of the public. At the center of this change is the creation of CART, the Community Awareness Response Team, a task force organized by local leadership, representatives of the state prosecutor and defense attorneys, local media outlets and civil rights action groups such as the ACLU.

CART will act at the behest of the public during questionable interactions between the police and citizens. CART’s role is to arrive quickly on the scene, contribute to transparency and advocate for the rights of all involved during the incident. The task force will continue to play a role in oversight of actions that take place after the incident.

Vazquez believes that now more than ever, the nation needs to confront its police brutality problem.

“I implore Florida Governor DeSantis, sheriffs of every county and police chiefs of every community to create local CART task forces,” Vazquez said. “I particularly urge Interim Sheriff Gregory Tony [of Broward County, FL] to start such a CART program immediately to de-escalate any incidents that occur in our community. The community needs to be heard. Enough is enough, the time to act is now before someone else gets injured or killed.”

LGBTQ+ Pride Month is here, and what is usually a joyful celebration of diversity and self-expression comes this year not only in the midst of a global pandemic but also during massive uprisings in response to the systematic police violence directed towards Black people in this country, most recently exemplified by the brutal murder of George Floyd.

The de Castellane Foundation stands in solidarity with the more than 75 LGBTQ+ organizations who penned an open letter this week committing explicitly to embracing anti-racism and ending to white supremacy, as “integral to the objective of full equality for LGBTQ people.”

We know that all oppression is inextricably linked; moving forward with respect to intersectionality, and in a way that centers the justice of Black transgender women, in particular, is imperative to the liberation of all people. As the open letter notes, “…this year alone, we have lost at least 12 members of our [transgender] community: Dustin Parker, Neulisa Luciano Ruiz, Yampi Méndez Arocho, Monika Diamond, Lexi, Johanna Metzger, Serena Angelique Velázquez Ramos, Layla Pelaez Sánchez, Penélope Díaz Ramírez, Nina Pop, Helle Jae O’Regan, and Tony McDade.”

As we as a country mourn these unthinkable losses of life, we urge our community to support the movement to defend Black lives by taking action and rising up in solidarity. We remember the Stonewall Riots that paved the way for the global LGBTQ+ rights movement as we now know it. We remember that it was trans women of color who led those uprisings, catalyzing a national movement that fought for the same ideals we seek today — the freedom to live, to breathe, without the presence of police raids and brutality.

We remember the White Night Riots after America’s justice system failed Harvey Milk. We remember the massacres left out of history books, like the Tulsa race massacre that occurred 99 years ago today, when 35 square blocks of black-owned homes and businesses were burned by white mobs. White supremacist patriarchal violence has stained our nation for too long, and we stand in unity with those defending civil rights, especially those of all marginalized communities.

“Any rights that we (as the LGBTQ+ Community) have today, have started from riots,” said Daniel de Castellane, President of the de Castellane Foundation. “As allies to this movement I believe our first job is to listen and to ask how we can support Black Lives Matter, Neighborhoods Organizing for Change, the NAACP, and other organizations taking the lead to end racially biased violence. Our job is to listen first, and then to act. We are not coming in recommending strategies. We will not be silent, and we will not turn our backs on the Black community during this urgent time. We ask that members of our many LGBTQ+ communities step into this commitment with us – the commitment to listen, and to act.”

As LGBTQ+ people representing many races, cultures, religions, languages, and colors, we know what it is to stand up for our inherent worth. We know what it is to stand up for the right to occupy space, for our identities, and to speak out against discrimination, harassment, and violence.

We are curious, open, and learning. We are educating our communities, our organizations, and ourselves on why it is important for LGBTQ+ communities to stand with Black communities — why our politics, our values, and our liberation are bound together.

The de Castellane Foundation was created with the idea of helping people grow out of poverty, in 2019, with the supervision of Daniel de Castellane. In addition to fighting poverty, the foundation has put its focus on studying compassion in our society and developing new ways to promote kindness within communities. In an effort to do so, we are currently teaming up with renowned Universities, in order to look into sociological and psychological factors that can help our cause.

Most people have experienced negotiating deals. Maybe you’ve purchased a car or two and had to bargain with the dealership for a monthly payment you can afford. Or perhaps you bought an apartment or house and spent weeks going back and forth at a good price.

Not everyone enjoys bargaining, but most of us have at least a little bit of know-how when it comes to negotiations.

However, car accident claims are different. When you’re up against an insurance company after sustaining injuries in a car accident, you’re negotiating a settlement. These are complicated agreements that determine how much money you receive for serious injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.

This is your one chance to get the compensation you deserve. As such, you probably don’t want to take the first settlement the insurance company offers.

Why? Insurance companies may produce some clever commercials that promise they’re on your side or just like a good neighbor, but their primary goal is to turn a profit. They do this not by fully and fairly compensating claimants but by paying out as little as possible on every single claim.

How Insurance Companies Value Your Claim

Insurance companies have sophisticated methods for putting a dollar amount on your car accident injuries and other damages. In most cases, an insurance company’s valuation starts out with a “reserve.” This is a set amount the insurer puts aside for a claim based on basic information. It’s usually calculated with actuarial figures, and any amount above this reserve requires approval from someone higher up the chain with the insurance company.

The reserve figure can be determined by a number of things, including the individual adjuster reviewing your claim, the overall corporate philosophy of the insurance company, any past claims you’ve brought, and predictive modeling used by the insurer.

In other words, you’re a single claimant pitted against all the resources of what is usually a large corporation. While you’ll typically deal with an adjuster, that individual is backed by supervisors and the entire organization.

If your injuries are extensive and your claim has a high valuation, it may even be decided by a group of people rather than an individual adjuster. This group will likely convene behind the scenes and can consist of a number of people, including department managers, vice presidents of claims departments, and home office examiners.

What most claimants don’t know is that when you’re negotiating, you’re probably really negotiating with what amounts to a committee of highly experienced people. If your claim has a high dollar figure, it’s likely that you’re dealing with more than just a single insurance adjuster or claims representative.

This is why working with an experienced New York car accident lawyer can give you an advantage when it comes to negotiating a car accident settlement. Insurance companies have extensive resources, and they want to pay out as little money as possible. With a knowledgeable car accident lawyer on your side, you can focus on your physical recovery rather than playing the negotiation game with a powerful insurance company.

How Insurance Companies Devalue Car Accident Claims

Insurance companies want to spend the lowest amount of money as possible on each and every claim that comes their way, and they’ll resort to several strategies to avoid paying the full and fair amount claimants deserve.

Some of the strategies include:

Minimizing your injuries

Refuting the necessity of some of your medical treatments

Claiming you were comparatively negligent for the accident and trying to reduce your claim accordingly

Searching your social media for photos or statements they can use to claim you aren’t as badly hurt as you claim

Claim they only have authority to go up to a certain dollar figure and no higher

The insurance company will also gather as much information about you as possible. They’ll assemble details about your past injury history and medical records, your employment history, your credit report, any past lawsuits you’ve been involved in, and your personal background.

Insurance companies also want to settle a claim as quickly as possible and before the claimant retains a personal injury lawyer. This is because the insurer has little control over a car accident claim once it enters litigation and almost zero control if the case goes to trial. At that point, decision making falls to a judge or jury.

Talk to a New York Car Accident Lawyer About Your Case

If you’ve been injured in a car accident in New York, you don’t have to go up against an insurance company on your own. Having an experienced car accident lawyer on your side can help you get the compensation you deserve. No one should have to shoulder the burden of debts brought about by a car accident. Get in touch with a New York City car accident lawyer to discuss your case.

For immediate release:Barksanem has signed a Master License in Peru aimed at improving the livelihoods of mining micro-communities through sustainable, people-centric, responsible mining.

Houston, Texas (May11th 2020) Barksanem, Inc. located in Houston, Texas, and its sister company Barksanem Sarl, an R&D and training arm for Barksanem, based in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso and engaged in responsible mining and semi-industrial / small-scale artisanal mining (ASM), announces the signing of a Master License in Peru founded upon its proprietary know-how. This Master License will cover the entire nation of Peru. At the End of 2019, Barksanem sold 3 Licenses for Burkina Faso.

The Barksanem License contains a portfolio of solutions to implement mining operations, fast-track ASM integration into a given territory and to enhance business growth around a sustainable development model.

The License’s innovative business model focuses on developing semi-industrial mining operations integrating sustainable development while contemporaneously formalizing artisanal miners. The formalization of artisanal mining is governed by strict protocols and includes the eradication of illicit use of dangerous chemicals such as mercury and child labor.

In addition, The Barksanem License integrates the digitalization of the entire gold production line in order to track the entire supply chain from extraction at the mining pit to the refinery. This economic model responds to the guidelines of many governments and institutions that fight against fraud, child labor and the use of chemicals harmful to the environment and the health of populations while allowing children to return to school and offering livelihood alternatives for pregnant women.

The Barksanem License is a pragmatic answer to the challenges of the entire mining sector (industrial, semi-industrial and artisanal settings) for all minerals and metals (gold, silver, other minerals, colored stones, diamonds…)

The Sarabia Group launches its “Juntos Sumamos” campaign, through which they overturn all of their Corporate Social Responsibility Action into a Containment Plan concerning the Covid-19 Sanitary Emergency in Paraguay, conducting different solidarity actions in two major fronts: to help to communities nearby its companies that are an essential part of the supply chain, and to help the Public Health System.

Throughout the campaign, the contributions will sum the equivalent of 400.000 US dollars. During the campaign “Juntos Sumamos”, the Sarabia Group will donate 121 tons of non-perishable food, which will be aimed to people in vulnerable situations and that will benefit to 5.500 families who will receive the food kits.

Each kit contains 22 kilos of non-perishable products from the basic basket (5 kg of rice, 2 kg of beans, 5 kg of flour, 2 bottles of oil 900ml each, 2 kg of sugar, 2 l of milk, 3 kg of pasta and 1 k of salt). In addition, to support the sanitary system in the fight against Covid-19 propagation, they gave 7.000 biosafety equipment and around 17.000 liters of hand sanitizer that are being distributed to the sanitary regions, that have a departmental range and to leading hospitals of the nearby communities from the business group’s supply chain.

Sarabia Group’s CEO, José Marcos Sarabia highlighted that the “Juntos Sumamos” campaign enforces the social commitment that has been maintained for nearly 30 years by the business group. “Today more than ever Paraguay needs us to join efforts in order to provide help and support during this challenging social situation. United, at work, the solidarity and the commitment with the people, we’re stronger and we will be able to move forward together gracefully from this battle” he pointed out.

Jose Marcos Sarabia explained that, for the distribution of the food kits, the Sarabia Group network of collaborators scattered specially in the inner country, will be key to identify the most needed communities in a way that the impact of the campaign gives a real benefit to the people in vulnerable situation.

]]>Engagedly’s Releases New Research Whitepaper On Working In The Era Of Covid-19https://newsreleases.submitpressrelease123.com/2020/05/31/engagedlys-releases-new-research-whitepaper-on-working-in-the-era-of-covid-19/
Mon, 01 Jun 2020 00:52:10 +0000https://newsreleases.submitpressrelease123.com/?p=28996

In a recent research study conducted by Engagedly, survey results showed a clear dichotomy between remote and non remote employees when it comes to anxiety about their job and engagement at work

Engagedly, leading progressive performance management and people enablement software company released recent survey results on how employees are coping with the uncertainty of the business climate and the impact on the engagement and their trust in their leadership.

This report found a significant difference between the employees who are remote vs. the employees who are at the workplace.

65% of people that were working from home reported that they were either extremely or very worried about how it would impact their jobs. Whereas only 38% of people not working from home reported being either “extremely or very worried” about the impact Coronavirus would have on their job.

Ironically, Over 70% of the people that work from were either extremely confident or very confident in their leadership team that was 22% higher than the people who reported not working from home.

“Our survey found that Survey results show that organizations have rapidly adjusted to a remote work environment but employees feel a high level of anxiety on the impact to their organizations and their job,” said Sri Chellappa, Co-Founder/President at Engagedly. “Surprisingly, a majority of the employees also feel more engaged than before in this environment. And as such the key here is to actively communicate with your people with empathy and build trust”

The focus of Engagedly’s research was to gain some insight into how the transition and changes are impacting people’s work and their levels of engagement. And provide guidance on how organizations and leaders can drive better outcomes in this era.

However, it seems that US organizations have adapted rather quickly to this new environment which may lead to more people permanently working from home. Over 80% of the people who reported working from home were either somewhat satisfied or very satisfied with their current work from home arrangement.

It is clear that organizations have been quite nimble and agile in adapting to the work from home setup and support but more work needs to be done to improve employee morale and confidence in leadership as this crisis continues to play out. It also is a red herring for the future where many employees may choose to work remotely, permanently.

Methodology:

Across the 260 respondents we gathered demographic information on the following areas: education level, gender, job title, number of employees in company, and industry. The demographic breakdown and respective percentages can be found in the full report at engagedly site. In general, the breakdown is well distributed and encompasses people across various industries, levels, and other key identifying characteristics.

Measures have been broadly taken for to assist tenants in difficulty, but also to protect landlords. At the moment, however, the help that is accessible depends on the region. According to Idealista, support will be provided in several parts of the country.

For instance, the Residential Building Company in Lombardy has accepted a range of steps to support families who rent their homes. This is the primary stage of aid focused on the most financially fragile holders who have suffered an economic crisis. Moreover, Milan has delayed the due date for the payment of rent and expenses for the municipality’s social housing to 30th September.

In the Lazio Region, 43 million euros will be set aside as an aid to the payment of rent. The city of Rome has reported that the public notice for the contribution to the territorial rent will finally be released, with the guarantee that the strategies will be easier and faster.

The citizens will be able to apply for the Campania region rental benefit. It could be a fee from 1,800 to 2,000 euros depending on income.

According to the website of the Sicilian region, around five thousand Sicilian families will benefit from the contributions for rent in the Sicilian region. The funds have the available sum of more than 7 million euros.

Another peculiar measure is that Tuscany residents can apply for exceptional rental aid in the region. This step is for those who have delayed, reduced, or suspended their activity or work. The grant of this kind of support will cover half of the rent cost and will not go beyond 300 euros per month.

Dallas, TX – Long standing Dallas-based white collar criminal defense attorneys Broden & Mickelsen recently spent some time exploring the remarkable findings of a study performed by Syracuse University. The research compared current prosecution levels to 30 years of U.S. Justice Department records and found that the prosecution of white-collar offenders reached an all-time low in January of 2020.

Also known as corporate crime, white-collar crime refers to non-violent offenses that are financially motivated, such as embezzlement, money laundering, fraud, and more. According to the report, only 259 defendants were charged in January of 2020, marking the single lowest rate of criminal prosecutions since federal record-keeping began in 1980.

“The [Syracuse University] TRAC report is probably the most authoritative source for this kind of information, so needless to say we were more than a little surprised to see just how far the numbers have dropped,” said Mick Mickelsen, Partner at Broden & Mickelsen. “Of course, it is important to note that the drop in prosecutions does not seem to correlate with a drop in white-collar crime.”

However, the United States Department of Justice has questioned the validity of the TRAC report, calling into question the study’s accuracy. Ultimately, they have refused to verify the conclusions laid out in the report.

The Broden & Mickelsen blog goes on to detail the fact that in their home state of Texas and in many places across the United States, over 30% of business owners have been targeted by a white-collar criminal at one point or another, often being scammed out of considerable amounts of money.

The most prolific example of white-collar crime is also discussed at length within the blog post, telling the tale of Bernie Madoff and his white-collar Ponzi scheme that allowed him to swindle more than $65 billion from American investors leading up to the financial collapse of 2009. Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison for his crimes, a number that has made him the unofficial mascot of white-collar crime in America.

When we’re going through our usual daily routine we rarely think about getting injured. When headed to get coffee before work, you probably aren’t thinking you may get rear-ended at the light. When you go to your job site, you’re most likely not assuming a piece of equipment is going to fall on you.

The fact is though, these things do happen. And when they do it may be your fault, but sometimes the fault lies elsewhere.

So, how do you know if you have a justifiable personal injury claim? Today, we’re going to tell you about the two most frequently pursued personal injury claims that we see.

Motor Vehicle Personal Injury Claims

These are by far the most common personal injury claims we see as accident attorneys in Thornton, Arvada, and Broomfield, Colorado. No matter how safe and excellent of a driver you are, you are never guaranteed to arrive at your destination without incident.

Driving accidents come in all shapes and sizes: you could only need minor car repairs, you may suffer from whiplash, you may need surgery, and yes, it can get even worse. It’s important to note that you may not feel your injury directly after an accident, so if the crash jarred you at all, you should see a doctor. The sooner you know what’s happened, the better.

Talking to a personal injury attorney about your accident is a good idea. Having someone to support you, look out for you, and who knows how to manage the situation will help you get through an incident that was beyond your control and may have contributed to financial, emotional, and physical pain.

Wrongful Death Claims

When a person dies unexpectedly due to the misconduct or negligence of another person or company, the emotional toll weighs heavily. It’s important to fight for the victim and the victim’s loved ones and this is usually done through the filing of a wrongful death claim.

In many cases, there will be a trial and if a person or entity is found guilty of the wrongful death, there will be significant repercussions, including a financial payment to those who lost their loved one.

When someone you care for has died through the fault of another, talk to a personal injury attorney so you can gain a full understanding of your rights.

The Takeaway

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to filing a personal injury claim. If you have questions or would like to know more about your rights, we’re happy to help.

At Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., we understand the pain and frustration that comes with an accident.

Dallas, TX – Dallas criminal defense attorneys Broden & Mickelsen recently explored the story of how the COVID-19 outbreak led to a delay of execution for a Texas inmate who was sentenced to death in 2011 for the brutal murder of his father-in-law, 5-year old daughter, and pregnant wife.

“The request for the stay of execution came from Hummel’s attorney only about a week before the scheduled execution, citing complications from the COVID-19 pandemic and the related disaster declaration here in Texas,” said Clint Broden, Partner at Broden & Mickelsen. “The request was unique, to say the least, not the kind of thing that you see every day, and certainly the kind of thing that is going to stir up some emotion for some people.”

According to the blog, Mr. Hummel’s attorney argued that there were multiple ways that COVID-19 had caused a series of unique circumstances that would make it inappropriate to follow through with the 8-year-old sentence. Primarily, the attorney argued that the pandemic conditions have made it difficult to complete last-minute investigations that might help his client, as well as the potentially dangerous conditions that could arise from bringing people into the small prison viewing rooms.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ended up ruling that the execution should be delayed “in light of the current health crisis and the enormous resources needed to address that emergency.” The court ruled that the stay will remain in place for 60 days, after which the county will be able to set a new execution fate.

It is currently unclear how the ruling will affect the other inmates who are scheduled for execution in Texas, specifically, the seven other inmates who are scheduled to be executed in the months immediately following the ruling.

“Texas is known for executing more inmates than any other state in the Union,” continued Clint. “It is not surprising that a ruling like this will be strictly opposed by some prosecutors and officials, who feel that the request was speculative, and does not warrant a stay perhaps because of the particularly heinous nature of the crime.”

To be on the same lists as my hero Dr. Seuss, as well as New York Times best-selling authors and pop icons is astonishing. The awareness of my books is thanks to the people who embraced them early on (many of them teachers) and read them to their classes or purchased several as gifts. Once people get them in their hands, they get hooked. Those are the cheerleaders for whom I am so incredibly grateful.”

Speaking of travelling in Yunnan, are there any other amazing routes besides the classic Kunming-Dali-Lijiang? Too many!

This year, “Travelling in Yunnan” APP decides to explore the coolest travelling routes in Yunnan and launch a new series of “How COOL is Yunnan ” routes.

On May 1st, the first route of “How COOL is Yunnan” – Hiking on White Horse Snow Mountain with Masters” set off in a group. The story of this route beings from the Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys living in the depths of White Horse Snow Mountain in Diqing, Yunnan.

Earlier this year, eight new baby monkeys were born in the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey group in Xiangguqing, White Horse Snow Mountain Reserve. Their first public appearance was broadcast in “Travelling in Yunnan “, and a lot of netizens were touched by the warm interaction between mother monkey “Zero B” and baby monkey “Gengzi One”. Some audience commented, “I wish I could see it with my own eyes”.

Meeting your wish is the biggest motivation for “Travelling in Yunnan”, so we decided to take you and see it with your own eyes.

After learning the background and needs of the project, we selected the destination and made spot check, classification and sorting to finally launch the route … Before May 1st, the “travelling to White Horse Snow Mountain to listen to the story of Monkey King” and experience the collision of national cultures, explore biodiversity and hike the primeval forest for 5 days and 4 nights, was finally developed.

The coolest thing was that the lead scientist of the group was Long Yongcheng, the first Chinese scientist to carry out field research on Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, the lead teacher was Zuotao, member of the United Nations Collaborative Project on Sustainable Development, and the mentors were Zhong Tai, former Director of Weixi Branch of White Horse Snow Mountain Reserve, Lai, Chief of White Horse Snow Mountain Rescue Station, and Yu Jianhua, former Patrol Team Head of Weixi Branch of White Horse Snow Mountain Reserve. We learnt from the scientists to deploy infrared cameras to observe Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys, followed the mentors to hike in the forest to learn about alpine plants, explored the primitive tribes in the depth of the snow mountain and tasted the honey from the Himalayan bee farm, stayed at night in the deep snow mountain or cabins designed with local materials and overlooked at the stars … Everything was new you have never experienced in Yunnan!

“How COOL is Yunnan” series of new travelling routes have broken through the market competition with creative ideas and games with the distinctive and high-end features, having overturned the traditional promotion and shelving modes of previous routes. The entire exposure of the subject reached 2.26 million times and the hits reached 46,000. With the continuous enrichment of “How COOL is Yunnan” series of new travelling routes, more amazing routes have been introduced to the market.

In addition to registering in the group, you can also get the same participation opportunities by participating in the “Travelling in Yunnan” super player recruitment.

“You Play We Pay”, the “Best Job in the World” recruitment program has a total exposure of 2.8 million, attracting players from all walks of life to register once it was launched.

After fierce competition and layers of screening, 2 super players won the ” Best Job in the World “: Yunnan photographer Rao Xin born in 1994 and Post-80s Guan Hengzhi born in Liaoning and settled in Yunnan. They became the super players of the group.

Rao Xin shared his feelings and understanding with camera as the pen and video as the picture. Guan Hengzhi was addicted to the travel and didn’t want to come back. “Most unforgettably was the explanation by Mr. Long about the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey. I could feel his love for this lovely creature,” he said.

So what are you still hesitating about? Become a super player. Let’s go and see “How COOL Yunnan is”.

While a sigh of relief will come from many industries and businesses who will be able to once again open their doors, knowing you have a vacation coming is also good for your mental health.

MOSHI, Tanzania – More than 10 percent of workers are in the tourism industry. This means everyone from flight attendants to safari tour operators are out of work and are ready and waiting to get back to providing the joyful service they desire to give.

But, it’s not just about spending money. It’s also about having a light at the end of the tunnel. While this sigh of relief will come from many industries and businesses who will be able to once again open their doors, knowing you have a vacation coming is also good for your mental health.

Zara Tours proudly supports the community, further making an impact by using tourism dollars to promote local growth. We train and employ those who serve in hospitality, tour operators, and porters. We help the environment through tree planting and water cleaning projects. And, through Zara Charity, support education and vocational efforts of the most at-risk populations in Tanzania.

Partnering with travel providers who give so much back to their community means not only do you get the benefit of a fulfilling vacation, but others are positively impacted by the tourism dollars spent.

Let’s keep dreaming of safari on the Serengeti, trekking Mt. Kilimanjaro, relaxing under a beach shade, taking in the beauty of another culture, photos to brag about, and bonding with our loved ones over a shared experience. Let’s keep the excitement of travel alive! We can’t wait to serve you once again!

Unemployment is at record highs in countries such as the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and Ireland. Stephen Borer, executive search consultant with experience in all of these markets, shares the top 10 steps to job seeking in the new employer-led market;

1. Switch gears and understand that it is now an ‘employer-led market’ meaning that job seekers will have to work harder than ever to identify and secure job opportunities. The sooner you understand that you need to work harder for success, the better.

2. Manage your personal financial situation. If you need to take lower-paid, even part-time work whilst you search, get that sorted first. This will likely be a long process so sort out your finances first.

3. Do not rely on the visible market. There are thousands of roles being hired directly through networks that never make the public domain. Work hard on building and using your network to uncover opportunities.

4. Be proactive. Proactively target organizations that you have directly relevant experience for. If your experience, for example, is managing a plastic extrusion operation, approach other organizations that also use that manufacturing process.

5. Keep your resume simple. Do not use borders, headers and footers, images, columns, or any other formatting on your resume. You should use simple bold font and bullet points otherwise you stand the risk of Applicant Tracking Systems, used by many organizations, not processing your resume correctly.

6. Be clear on your superpowers. Understand where your unique selling points (superpowers) are so that you can very surgically target organizations that will have these requirements.

7. Manage your digital footprint. It is not just your resume and cover letter that you need to prepare at the beginning of a job search. Your online presence is equally important so make sure that your digital footprint is professional, consistent, and updated across all platforms, particularly LinkedIn.

8. Maintain a positive mindset. This is the single most important part of a successful job search. Keep positive throughout.

9. Organize, Track, and celebrate your progress. Manage yourself like you would a sales representative. Set yourself goals and targets, measure your progress, and reward yourself for small wins as you go along.

10. Prioritize self-care. Job seeking is a stressful time so make sure that you maintain balance in your life and find time for your physical health, mental health, nutrition, and personal finance.

“The employment market has flipped almost overnight. Q1 saw one of the strongest employment markets in history. Unfortunately, Covid-19 has turned that on its head and we now find millions of people unemployed and employers hesitant to be hiring. It is a tough time to find yourself unemployed.”

Stephen Borer, May 2020

“As a job seeker in this current market, you need to be organized, motivated, and prepared to work hard to find yourself opportunities. It is those job seekers prepared to go the extra mile that will ultimately see success. There are employers still hiring but the competition is fierce.”

Stephen Borer, May 2020

“Over the last 9 weeks (since the pandemic began) organizations have realized the importance of communication in managing their current employees. They will learn over the coming weeks that communication is also important in managing potential employees. Those organizations who communicate clearly, operate their recruitment processes with transparency and good manners will win in the long run by building an employer brand that stands the test of time.”

Stephen Borer, May 2020

About an employer-led market

An employer-led market is an employment market where there is an oversupply of job seekers and undersupply of organizations looking to hire.

For approximately 5 years preceding Mid-March 2020 we saw the employment market getting progressively better for job seekers as most markets globally experienced an increasingly ‘candidate led market’. Candidates were in high demand which reduced timelines on hiring cycles, gave candidates the upper hand in salary negotiations, and saw employers competing over the best candidates. Economies such as the US, Canada, and UK were at almost full employment.

Covid-19 has seen this trend reverse almost overnight. With so many people unemployed globally, the employment market behaves very differently for a job seeker in the new ‘employer-led market’. Recruitment processes will dramatically slow down, the number of job opportunities reduce significantly and the level of competition for each role will increase exponentially.

About Stephen Borer

Stephen has developed a training module for job seekers affected by Covid-19 that is available on Udemy.com. It provides a simple step by step process for business executives seeking a new role following Covid-19.

Director of TalentSphere Staffing Solutions, Stephen has over twenty years of executive search industry experience in the UK, Canada, Ireland, the US, and Australia.

Stephen led recruitment teams through the great recession and has proven experience helping job seekers find work during an employer-led market.

Kevin Hassett, a senior White House economic advisor, said Friday 22nd May 2020 that he thinks the US unemployment rate, which hit 14.7% in April, may rise to 22% or 23% by May and edge up a bit in June before heading lower.

As an innovator in tech and ingenuity Elon Musk has no equal, but to look at his ability to passionately move forward towards a vision for the world there are similarities between him and others. One person in particular who has passionately devoted himself to the uncovering of his vision and dream is Reynald Grattagliano. In the world of flavor, olfactory senses and extreme vision Reynald has built the entire industry of alcohol-free spirits.

Almost 10 years ago, ArKay, his flagship brand of alcohol alternatives, hit the shelves with no fanfare. While the bell curve for the alcohol bandwagon was at its final peak the press and media were using his product as a light sign off story to chuckle at as if to say “who needs an alcohol alternative when we have alcohol?”

Today however this vision is paying dividends as alcohol companies like Diageo struggle to make up ground on the growing trend. Ahead of his time by almost a decade Reynald has a large piece of the global market selling in over 180 countries. “We want adult style alcohol-free beverages to be a household idea” he said “this is not about any one being the best, but I am interested in the concept and I’ve delivered, what I believe to be, the best spirits alternative that can be made. I am the inventor, innovator, thinker, and tailor of alcohol-free spirits. ArKay is the gold standard, and without it there would be a huge gap to overcome, that no one who is producing alcohol free beverages today could do.”

When I asked how he could make such a bold statement he simply said “because no one else in the field has innovated it. I come with experience and expertise. As owner and inventor, I am able to adjust my formula and make it better all the time. These other companies are run by solely businessmen. I am an artist and my paints are flavor and experience. 10 years ago, I began and every day I am still improving on myself, my company, my product.”

Reynald is looking to redefine the Adult Drink category to no longer be simply based on the presence of alcohol alone. He has a vision where depth of experience and flavor are at the core of the category and ArKay doesn’t disappoint with over 33 flavors all the mimic the burn and bite of alcohol so as to add to the overall experience you, as an adult, are looking to add to your morning coffee or evening mocktail.

About Arkay Beverages

Alcohol-Free spirits are popping up everywhere today. Reynald Grattagliano, the pioneering visionary spark behind the question “is it possible to create alcohol free spirits?” says “We are looking for deep connections. Currently we connect at bars, but alcohol can keep us from connecting deeply.” Therefore, he concentrated on making wonderful drinks that could inspire community but be built on clarity.

ArKay came about due to the lack of options in the alcohol-free adult beverage market. Adults enjoy the vast flavors of alcohol, but today, less and less people are drinking. So, the question arises “what constitutes an adult drink today?” ArKay is a zero-proof beverage flavored to resemble all the alcohols you‘re familiar with, Brandy, Vodka, Rums, Gins and Whiskies of all sorts and even more. Utilizing an extract of capsaicin to create the burn and kick that is so synonymous with alcohol, ArKay is leading the way to the redefining of “Adult Drinks.”

In 2011 wine culture was growing and it was still a foregone conclusion that everyone was drinking alcohol. This was when Reynald Grattagliano introduced ArKay, the first ever alcohol-free spirit substitute, to the world. In the US his product was met with ridicule and resistance. Why? Because it had never been considered, “Alcohol-Free Whisky?” No one would have thought that could be possible and new ideas are always met with resistance. ArKay, having survived those early days through the passion and determination of Reynald Grattagliano, is able to see the fruits of its labor even though the idea that was almost a decade ahead of its time.

“Today we’re hearing customers ask for alcohol-free options everywhere and juices and sodas no longer cut it.” expressed local bartender Bill Georges. “Wanting an alcohol-free option doesn’t mean they want a juice box, nor does it mean they have a problem with alcohol. It means they want something with all the flavor and complexity of a traditional alcoholic beverage and want to stay sober.”

For years ArKay looked to position themselves as an option for those who had to abstain for medical, religious, or addictive reasons. Today, ArKay is looking at the growing market it forged and is seeing that, finally, people are beginning to see the difference between a great adult beverage and alcoholic one. Those two can be the same thing but no longer have to be thanks to ArKay.

ArKay has been honing its formula and is providing a beverage that can offer an option for those open to taking it. The world is catching up and we are seeing more alcohol substitutes on the market all the time. ArKay is the grandfather of the Alcohol-Free movement. With 33 different alcohol alternatives, ArKay is the most experienced and is leading the way to the future of the alcohol-free adult beverage industry.

Behind the product is a mission to create this option. “When we create an option, where there was none previously, we open people, and thus communities, to new ideas.” Says ArKay’s founder and Vice President Reynald Grattagliano, while sipping a ArKay Rum and Cola at a café in Arandas, Jalisco where they bottle and ship products to over 180 different countries. The passion that kept Reynald going through the early years, as the rest of the world caught up, is still alive as his conversation is always looking to include the question “What other options are there?” He can see that when it comes to alcohol, although it forged the way forward with its flavors, he can now take the baton and present the world with another option as to where to get those flavors.

At present digital media is fastest and most reliable source of marketing to target mass audience. Off late we have been hearing about lots of young social media specialist who help the individuals and organizations to develop their social media strategies to promote themselves on this extremely popular medium. Nitesh Soni, 22 years, is also a Social media specialist and digital entrepreneur.

He has recently started up his digital venture MS Promotions. About asking that now a days innumerous young guys with sizeable followers on social media call themselves digital marketer, Nitesh Soni says “Yes, lots of people fool themselves and others, specially small size businesses, by creating a website for them and promoting without understanding the requirements of that particular business. No marketing is real and valid if it can not promote the sales in right direction.” He further adds “ These so called digital marketed will vanish in near future.”

Nitesh Soni who was fascinated with digital media and it’s popularity has learned it’s tools and techniques at home. When he was in class 10th he would study about digital marketing after his school studies. Studying extra 4-5 hours everyday, searching and researching online about recent technologies in digital marketing. It took him 2 years of rigorous hard work to understand it properly.

About asking why he chose to become a social media specialist he says “I was always glued to social media apps, facebook, Instagram. I was amazed the way it was helping people to grow, to realize their dreams and was financially viable too, so I decided that as it is my passion I will.turn it into my profession.”

About the scope of digital marketing in coming times he says “ When I started learning about it at that time not many businesses were keen in promoting themselves on social media, but in last 5 years things have really picked-up. Every small and big business want to have a clear focused and successful digital marketing strategy. They have understood it’s importance and popularity and that it is the most important aspect of total marketing strategy. So definitely it’s scope will grow exponentially up.” He further adds “ At MS Promotions we understand the requirements of our clients and develop specific needbased and result oriented digital marketing strategy for both short term and long term.”

About cutthroat competition in digital marketing world his take is “ Tough competition is in every field, people who are sincere don’t enter unprepared, but if you are authentic hard working and result oriented you will definitely sustain and succeed, and if you are scared of challenges and competition you should not enter into any business.”

We must say that this young digital entrepreneur has actually done his homework well before entering into the extremely competitive world of digital marketing.

Rising to the Challenge against COVID-19, Tevatel, Asia’s prominent cloud telephony platform (DOOCTI), has worked with several organizations over the last few weeks to move its customer call centers to the cloud and deliver against commitments even as the corona virus pandemic escalated, adding that it has been inundated with client recognition.

With the COVID-19 outbreak, businesses have embraced remote working as the “new normal” and are pushing companies toward digital business models. This has particularly impacted their customer-facing teams like sales and support since traditionally they are not remote functions.

For the past few days, Tevatel has worked with healthcare, banks, fintech companies, education startups, NGOs, and BPOs to move their call centers to the cloud. Remote access to Sales and Support was made stronger and more secure with major IT trends such as core modernization and cloud adoption even in the case of organizations that relied on on-premise solutions with minimal to no disruption.

Metropolis Healthcare, India’s key Pathology Lab approved by the government for COVID-19 Test , wanted to move its customer support operations to the cloud to enable their employees to work remotely. With Tevatel, they were able to complete this transition in less than 3 days.

If you are a law firm looking for smart and energetic teams, you need to address the needs of all types of younger demographics.

Does Your Executive Office Space Look Like This?

Cubicles, gray carpet on the floor and cubicle walls, zero or few corner offices, beige-colored walls, fluorescent lighting, non-Starbucks coffee—if the answer is “yes,” you’re in need of modern office space—one that encourages collaboration rather than isolation.

As coworking spaces have increased in popularity and number over the past few years, more and more attorneys have decided to house their offices in communal office spaces. Coworking spaces provide several unique benefits.

PROS: Way Less Cost and Administrative Headaches

Until recently, opening a law office required a significant up-front investment and a long-term lease. There was rent to pay, furnishings, and office supplies to purchase, along with utilities and other costs to worry about. Commercial contracts often lacked the flexibility required by attorneys with growing (or shrinking) law firms.

Coworking spaces have put an end to these administrative headaches. Sure, there are still contracts to sign, but these contracts are for desks and small private offices—not for thousands of square feet.

Coworking spaces are already furnished (some very nicely so), and most are stocked with basic office supplies. Any infrastructure costs—kitchen appliances, coffee, water, snacks, wireless internet—are included in the monthly rent. Just bring your own computer, and you’re all set.

In an interview with a Dallas commercial lawyer who uses Venture X Dallas Campbell Centre, he admitted that he came from a conventional executive suite which did not give him the Zen of working. When he saw VX Dallas Campbell Centre, he fell in love on his first tour.

He also expressed that even his old big law firm where he moved from had a boring feel.

2) Most short term executive suites lock you into a contract. Coworking spaces are flexible.

3) Since Venture X Campbell is a franchised based operation, the business owner takes a personal interest in each client. You never have to deal with the corporate office. For this reason, the collaborative culture at a coworking space helps every business get help from others.

If you are looking for a new office space that offers the privacy of your own office yet features a modern look for aspiring lawyers, you must see what our attorney clients like about Venture X Dallas Campbell Centre, an executive office for lawyers.

“Millennials are the leading teams and contribute creative ideas that take their companies above competitors, so you probably want them on your payroll.

“However, to attract and retain a millennial workforce—the innovative employees that your company needs—you must understand what they want in terms of office design and culture. It would be best if you then created that combination. “Ali Qamar

Law Student Friendly:

Ali Qamar, a resident of Dallas and law school student, rented Venture X to prepare for his 2019 Texas Bar exam.

Since studying at home or the library entailed too many distractions, Qamar considered renting a coworking space.

“Since my dad had an office at a coworking space, I selected Venture X Dallas. Not only was the place very modern and tranquil for me with no distractions, but I was also able to take my breaks and use the nap room when I was tired. They also had many private phone booths, so if I need to speak with someone, so no one can hear me, I went into the booth and made my calls.

A few times, my friends came to see me, and we went to nearby restaurants within walking distance and saved me time.

According to another study conducted, millennials officially overtook baby boomers as the largest generation in the U.S. workforce. Today, more than one in three workers are millennials, and this new generation of workers has different professional goals and expectations than their parents and grandparents.

Specifically, younger workers value a healthy work-life balance. In a New York Times profile, one 28-year-old worker said she left her corporate bank job for a design firm that allows its workers to work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

What Are The Concerns Over Privacy When Working at Coworking?

The concern about using a shared office, whether it is an executive suite or coworking space, is the same. The good news is that there are no concerns you can’t handle.

Most law firms are good at what they do. But, running a legal practice has its challenges. If you are a budding law firm with a limited budget, here is a list of unique resources Venture X Dallas Campbell Centre offers. Due to the collaborative nature of working together and sharing ideas, each community member benefits from coworking.

Paulo Sergio Sarabia of Sarabia Group, within the “Juntos Sumemos” campaign framework, donated 5.000 liters of hand sanitizer to the Tenth Sanitary Region of the Ministry of Public Health and Social Welfare (MSPyBS) in order to contribute with the sanitary system of Alto Paraná.

RapidMade, aiding essential workers and individuals throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

RapidMade has recently shifted production to fight the spread of COVID-19. RapidMade, known for its plastic 3D printing capabilities, is now producing emergency PPE to limit the spread of COVID-19 through the production of lightweight plastic face masks with built-in removable filters, as well as face shields. The company is dedicating a large portion of resources to aid local and large-scale coronavirus relief amidst a shortage of N95 masks.

N95 masks are vital PPE for medical professionals and essential workers working through the pandemic. An N95 respirator mask is the healthcare industry standard for meeting federal standards in terms of protecting personnel from airborne viruses and bacteria. These masks fit tightly and are capable of filtering out potentially harmful viruses and bacteria. As of March 2020, the growing shortage of N95 masks has forced individuals to look for alternatives, such as RapidMade’s reusable face masks.

The Portland-based 3D printing company is manufacturing a unique face mask that reduces waste through the use of removable filters that can be replaced as needed. Although these filters must be replaced periodically, these masks reduce waste since they can be used more than once when sanitized. These face masks are lightweight and skin tight. They are helping create a safer environment for essential workers, individuals, and more. RapidMade is also creating lightweight face shields to offer added protection. These face shields are made from lightweight yet strong polycarbonate. These clear face shields are entirely transparent and can be sanitized and reused.

RapidMade is providing these resources not only to the healthcare industry but also for individual and commercial purchase so that companies can ensure the health and safety of essential workers. Micah Chaban, VP of Sales, states, “At first, we focused on supplying the local medical community with personal protective equipment (PPE) but then realized that the need was much greater than that, so we expanded production to serve the public. We just want to help keep people safe, so we can overcome this together.”

3D prototype printing technology has aided the quick production of a changeable filter and reusable face mask. These advances were crucial to developing a prototype. The current manufacturing process combines 3D prototype printing technology with more traditional means in order to efficiently and quickly send these masks to the market. RapidMade utilized older manufacturing technologies like vacuum and thermoforming that can operate on a larger production scale at a lower cost. This is a pivot from RapidMade’s usual services, but a resourceful use of versatile technology.

RapidMade President, Mark Eaton, states, “For the masks, we were able to leverage some open source designs, and we used all our 3D printing and engineering knowhow to quickly iterate the design. But we soon realized that a vacuum-formed, lightweight plastic mask would cost less, be lighter, conform better to the face for a better fit and most importantly quickly ramp up to huge weekly volumes.”

The mask’s design incorporates a 3D printed filter cartridge assembly with a dual polyester/rayon and melt blown polypropylene filter element. The result is a mask extremely similar to the N95 masks that are sold commercially. RapidMade supplies five replacement filters. The removable filters allow the masks to be sanitized regularly. RapidMade suggests weekly replacement of filters and a more frequent replacement if the user is working in a dust-filled or adverse environment.

RapidMade operated under a quick deadline to get these masks to the market. Within seven days, the 3D printing company created, tested, and prototyped the mask and shield designs. This process was supplemented with feedback from local first responders for the seal, fit, and use of the mask. The mask was proved to be a solid, reliable, and safe option before it even hit the market.

RapidMade is currently in full mask and shield production, manufacturing 2,000 masks per week, 5,000 filters a week, and 1,000 shields a week. They continue to prove there are options for reusable masks that can be disinfected regularly without deterring in quality. As well as producing emergency PPE for individual and consumer sale, RapidMade is donating to individuals and facilities in need.

Micah Chaban states, “We are proud of the fact that we could create these products quickly, protect vital healthcare workers and help get Americans safely back to work.”

We are fortunate to be able to apply our passion and innovation, and rise to the occasion in this global fight.”

The 6-piece face shield design features adjustable sizing and a band cover for added comfort. The face shields are also reusable, easy-to-clean and sanitize. The design was the culmination of innovative thinking from their structural design team, sourcing of essential materials and adaptation of their manufacturing capabilities.

JohnsByrne Company has donated its face shields to Saint Anthony Hospital of Chicago, the Village of Niles including the Police, Fire, and Administration Departments, among others.

Celebrating its 60th year of operations, JohnsByrne Company has always been at the forefront of the print and packaging industry. Its structural design capabilities have made it the go-to partner for major cosmetic brands, financial institutions, and major automotive manufacturers among others.

]]>The Fight Against Pollution Will Take More than Air Filtershttps://newsreleases.submitpressrelease123.com/2020/05/25/the-fight-against-pollution-will-take-more-than-air-filters/
Tue, 26 May 2020 02:58:32 +0000https://newsreleases.submitpressrelease123.com/?p=28929

Air filters can only do so much. There needs to be a concerted effort to address the actual source of air pollution.

Riverdale, NJ — Despite the ever-improving effectiveness of air filters, the air filtration industry faces an uphill battle due to a lack of information about air pollution.

While high-efficiency filters can keep airborne pollutants out of our homes, schools, offices, commercial buildings, hospitals, and industrial facilities, they only treat the symptoms of an even bigger problem. Air filters simply can’t change the everyday choices we make that contribute to poor air quality.

“Air pollution is a public health issue,” says Kevin Wood, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Camfil USA. “In Europe alone, air pollution causes 310,000 premature deaths annually, and is a growing threat in fast-developing countries.”

How does air pollution affect indoor air quality?

Today, many buildings are retrofitted with thicker insulation, vapor barriers, and new doors and windows that help keep the indoor air inside while preventing outside air from seeping inside. But this creates another indoor air quality issue.

In many buildings, the sealed environment causes a buildup of indoor air contaminants and moisture, which makes the air unhealthy. The EPA notes that these conditions may cause Sick Building Syndrome—a common label to describe headaches, nasal irritations, fatigue, and respiratory illness linked to spending time inside a building.

What everyday activities contribute to air pollution?

Each day, we all make choices that affect the quality of the air we breathe. What seems to be a mundane activity can be a contributing factor to the problem of air pollution when everyone engages in them frequently.

Driving cars

Spraying an aerosol

Turning on the kitchen stove

Burning wood on a fire

Using kitchen appliances, such as refrigerators

Note that many of these are activities we consider essential. Even if, by some miracle, the air pollution crisis was fixed tomorrow, particulate and molecular filters would still play a critical role in buildings where occupants are exposed to airborne contaminants like pollen, dust, equipment off-gassing, and chemical fumes.Going Beyond Air Filters

Air filters can only do so much. There needs to be a concerted effort to address the actual source of air pollution.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank have launched campaigns to encourage action against air pollution, but solving this problem requires more than just top-down solutions, green technologies, and systems that shut out air pollutants from indoor spaces

Time and again, countries and cities that provide their constituents with access to information about air pollution show the greatest strides in fighting it. For example, the Montreal Protocol sounded the alarm on the ozone layer crisis in the 1980s alongside the United States government’s ban chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Today, studies show that the decision to fix the ozone hole is finally paying off.

When a loved one dies due to suicide, grieving family members and friends left behind are often left wondering if the death could have been prevented. In some cases, they may question whether the doctors or health professionals who treated their loved one missed warning signs or failed to provide adequate care and intervention.

In these cases, it may be possible for survivors to obtain compensation for psychiatric medical malpractice. Family members should discuss their case with a New York City medical malpractice and wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible, as there are time limits for filing claims of this type.

Suicide Is the Tenth Leading Cause of Death in the U.S.

According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States. In 2017 alone, there were 1.4 million suicide attempts. Each year, twice as many Americans die by suicide than homicide. Up to 90% of people who take their own lives have a substance abuse mental health disorders, such as depression.

With suicide being such a prominent health crisis, it is the duty of physicians and other healthcare professionals to ensure that their patients receive the proper standard of mental health and medical care.

According to mental health experts, most suicides are preventable as long as the person receives timely care. Knowing this can be devastating to families who are looking for answers after a loved one’s death by suicide.

Lapses in Medical Care That Can Lead to Suicide

Health professionals are trained to recognize the signs of potential suicide and to provide proper treatment. When a doctor or other health care worker first sees an emotionally disturbed patient, they should conduct a thorough suicide risk assessment. This is a process that involves gathering information about the individual’s past and current thoughts about suicidal behavior, as well as getting a comprehensive picture of their current health and living situation.

When health professionals fail to conduct a suicide risk assessment, they can miss warning signs that a person is experiencing suicidal ideation. They may overlook the fact that the individual has a suicide plan in place, or that the person is engaging in self-destruction behaviors, which are red flags for future self-harm.

With a completed suicide risk assessment in place, doctors and health care professionals can then make a proper treatment plan for the patient. This can include a range of interventions that depend on the person’s unique history and situation. Some possible treatment options include involuntary commitment to a psychiatric facility, prescription medication, therapy or counseling, or connecting with available social services providers in the community.

Improper Medication in Psychiatric Cases

Psychiatric drugs can be extremely powerful. Unfortunately, some doctors prescribe these medications without thoroughly evaluating a patient. In one case, a man’s doctor had prescribed the antidepressant Paxil for 10 years without seeing the man in person. When the patient started to feel his symptoms worsen, he contacted his doctor. The doctor, who was vacationing at the time, prescribed more medication over the phone. Tragically, the man later took his own life.

In recent years, studies have also found links between long-term use of antidepressants and dangerous health problems, such as heart attacks and strokes. Additionally, some psychiatric drugs are associated with a higher risk of suicide in some patients. The problem is that doctors may prescribe these drugs without conducting frequent and proper follow ups with patients, causing doctors to miss the warning signs of suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

Even when physicians and other health care staff complete an appropriate suicide risk assessment, other lapses in the duty of care can lead to a patient’s suicide. In some cases, medical professionals release a person from treatment too early. There have also been cases in which doctors misdiagnosed a psychiatric disorder as some other kind of health condition or vice versa, causing the patient to go without critical medication or other care.

Appropriate medical intervention is critical for preventing suicide, as people who receive appropriate intervention and care are far less likely to attempt suicide than those who go without proper care.

If you have lost a loved one to suicide due to improper psychiatric treatment, it’s important to discuss your options with a New York City medical malpractice and wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible.

Relocating is no small venture and big ventures tend to bear a financial burden. That’s why when you move, financial preparation is key to its success. Knowing exactly what you need to complete your move will help you identify the cost of your move.

Road Scholars is here to help you avoid unnecessary moving costs and budget for your move, so that you aren’t surprised with excessive costs throughout your moving process. It all comes down to proper management, knowing what you’re getting into, and some organization.

The Decluttering Process

Moving is a great time to purge. Getting rid of unwanted or unnecessary items is going to make your life so much easier on moving day and once you’ve arrived at your new location. It’s also an excellent financial resource in a time when you’re spending more money than usual.

Choose the items that are suitable for resale. Consider having a garage sale advertising on social media channels, using apps, or good ol’ fashioned word of mouth through friends and family or community boards.

For those items that don’t sell, donation is the way to go. If they didn’t sell, don’t take it as a sign that you should keep them, you’ve already made the hard decision to give them up. So, give them up. True, you’re not necessarily making tangible money on them, but you’ll save on packing materials, moving truck weight, and overall time and energy in packing, loading, and unpacking.

If You Can’t Budget for It, Don’t

In a perfect world, hiring a moving company for a full-service move is best, they’re professional, they know all the tricks to get your belongings where they’re going safely, they use all the proper equipment, and know how to bend without throwing out a back or knee.

However, if you simply can’t afford the full-service treatment, don’t force it financially. That will only add to an already stressful situation. So, what do you do? You start preparing in advance.

● Start packing as soon as you can, spreading it out will help with time-management and finances (ask your friends and family to help and pay in pizza)

● Try to find boxes and other moving supplies for free (Nextdoor is an excellent resource for this, also ask your local liquor and grocery stores)

● Determine if you want to hire a professional moving company for any part of your move and call around to at least three Denver moving companies for binding moving quotes, the earlier you book, the less it will cost you (moving between October and February is considered off-season and usually costs less, as well as moving mid-month and mid-week if you can swing it

Costly Moving Extras

Some of the most common moving extras you can splurge on are:

● Paying your movers to pack and unpack you

● Buying special packing supplies for specific items (mattresses, large or heavy pieces of furniture or appliances, fine art, etc.)

● If the movers need to park too far from the front door, they may have long carry costs

All of these costs will add up, so pick and choose and prioritize what’s most necessary for your specific moving process and ask your professional movers about the costs associated with the tasks you want most.

The Takeaway

Moving is a big expense, there’s no way around it, but knowing what you want will help you plan and manage your finances accordingly. Remember that your time and energy are also valuable, weigh out the pros and cons of hiring professional movers for part or all of your moving needs.

Shauna L. founder of Lamore Lifestyle Public Relations firm releases her first book. The edgy title F*ck your statistics is a story of her journey from teen mom to becoming a successful entrepreneur.

Baltimore, MD. Studies show that only 38% of young women who have a child before age 18 get a high school diploma. Statistically 80% of unmarried teen mothers end up on welfare. Well media relations mogul, Shauna Lamore, cordially says “F*ck Your Statistics” in her new acclaimed autobiography and guided journal. Shauna is living proof that your past circumstances don’t dictate your future. She has successfully raised twin girls while creating her own public relations firm.

“F*ck Your Statistics” is part biography and part interactive journal, giving its readers the opportunity to write down their own personal life struggles. In addition to writing about teen pregnancy, Shauna also highlights other issues in society such as maternal health and mortality among African American women. Lamore faced those maternal health statistics head on when she experienced heart failure after giving birth. Her heart failure and birth complications caused her return to the hospital just 10 days after giving birth. That resulted in her being on life support and a six week hospital stay. Traumatic is just one word that can be given to describe this life changing health scare.

Fast forward thirteen years and Shauna is a successful publicist and owner of her own firm. She had successfully placed her notable clients among hundreds of media platforms, ranging from local to international, to expand their visibility. Shauna is collectively using her platform to inspire women who may be experiencing similar struggles. Her hard work and grit have paid off and even earned her a nomination at the upcoming Black Media Honors. “The awards and recognition aren’t why I do what I do but they’re an honor and a reminder that there is no limit to how great you can become no matter where you started” says Lamore. “I’m excited for all opportunities to network with others especially in my industry because we all have a story and I’m so ready to tell mine.”

“F*ck Your Statistics” illustrates that the only standards that define us are the ones that we set for ourselves. It encourages its readers to negate the labels others may place on them and become their own exception to the rules. Featuring the statistics directly correlated to each of the topics discussed, the book juxtaposes the expectations society placed on Shauna with her own expectations for herself and her future. It’s safe to say that Shauna Lamore is living proof that your past doesn’t dictate your future.

For many years, the Catholic Church has come under fire for the widespread occurrence of child molestation. While the majority of the media attention has fallen on U.S. priests, clergy members in many other countries have been identified as abusers.

“Sexual Assault, commonly referred to as “rape,” is perhaps the most stressful allegation with which to be faced, particularly if the sexual assault involves a child”. Broden Mickelsen, Dallas Sex Crime Lawyers.

It’s difficult to put a definitive number on how many priests have been accused, but the number stretches into the thousands. According to Bishop Accountability, which monitors allegations, at least 6,400 priests and other Catholic Church personnel have been accused of molesting children.

In some cases, the allegations go back several decades. In the majority of cases, the priests have not been prosecuted because the statute of limitations has long since expired.

However, many advocates have pushed states to change child sexual abuse laws. In many cases, they have asked state lawmakers to remove the statute of limitations altogether, which would open the door to prosecution of priests accused of sexual offenses against children.

How Statutes of Limitation Keep Abusive Priests Out of Jail

According to one recent media report, about 1,700 defrocked and disgraced priests are currently living freely and without any kind of supervision. In many cases, these priests have secured employment that brings them into close contact with children. In fact, some work in schools as teachers, where they interact with children on a daily basis.

This is understandably infuriating survivors of sexual abuse by clergy, who feel like there has been little accountability from the Catholic Church in these cases. To add insult to injury, the priests in question typically can’t be charged with a crime since the statute of limitations in their case is expired.

Child sexual abuse laws vary among the states, and each state has its own statute of limitations for how much time can pass before an accused can’t be prosecuted for alleged child sexual abuse.

In some states, child sexual abuse doesn’t have a statute of limitations. In these cases, the crime of sexual child abuse and related offenses are treated the same as murder, which generally doesn’t have a time limit for prosecution. Additionally, several states have eliminated the statute of limitations for child sexual assault in civil cases. This means that victims of sexual abuse can file a claim in civil court to receive monetary damages.

States Seek to Eliminate Statutes of Limitations in Child Sexual Assault Cases

It’s important to note that civil cases are different than criminal cases. In a civil case, the wronged party has an opportunity to ask the court to order the injurious party to pay the wronged party money damages.

This is different than a criminal prosecution, which involves a case brought against the accused by the state or the federal government. If convicted, the accused could be sentenced to time in prison, be ordered to pay fines, or punished in some additional way.

When a statute of limitations runs out before charges can be filed, however, the accused essentially escapes punishment for their crimes. For victims, this can feel like they’re being victimized all over again.

As a result, many states have pushed to eliminate statutes of limitations for sexual crimes against children.

For example, in Kansas state lawmakers eliminated the statute of limitations for all felony sex crimes, including the sexual assault of a minor. The same is true in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

In Pennsylvania, the passage of new laws in 2019 means that victims of pending sexual assault cases have until they turn 55 years old to ask prosecutors to file charges against the accused. The state has eliminated the statute of limitations for future sex crimes cases. According to media reports, the changes came as a direct response to sexual abuse claims levied against the Catholic Church in the state.

Texas Statutes of Limitations for Sexual Crimes Against Children

Under Texas law, there is no statute of limitations for the crime of sexual assault on a child. Likewise, there is no time limit on the prosecution of the following criminal offenses:

Aggravated sexual assault of a child

Indecency with a child

Continuous sexual abuse of a child

Sexual assault of an adult when DNA evidence is present.

However, other types of sex crimes have a time limit under Texas law.

For example, there is a 20-year statute of limitations for the crimes of sexual performance by a child, aggravated kidnapping if the intent is to sexually abuse a child, and burglary if the intent is to sexually abuse a child.

If the child is under the age of 17 at the time the crime was committed, the statute of limitations is 20 years from the date of the child’s eighteenth birthday.

As the novel coronavirus continues to take hold throughout the country and healthcare facilities attempt to quickly reconfigure care delivery for patients and consumers who are being advised to stay home and not seek non-emergent care at hospitals and other facilities, appointments are being cancelled nationwide. Some care organizations and practices already have telehealth systems in place, while others are scrambling to develop or increase that capacity.

In turn, providers are facing new challenges in preparing to bill for telehealth services when patients can’t make in-facility appointments due to precaution, self-quarantine, containment, and even potential regional quarantines. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), effective immediately, has released new ICD-10 diagnosis codes for billing associated with COVID-19.

Following is an update on and guidance for preparing to use the new codes when delivering services directly or via telehealth technology to patients whose care or care-seeking activities are affected by the coronavirus:

Remember that when billing for telehealth patient phone calls, providers can use the same office visit and diagnosis codes they would regularly use for an office visit but need an additional modifier to bill. They also must use the place of service as 02 to designate that the place of service was telehealth.

Always check with local insurance carriers to verify coverage of telehealth, even though most insurance companies now offer coverage. Some states are mandating the coverage so that patients won’t have to go without treatment, and the availability of telehealth billing can help practices mitigate cash-flow interruptions in these uncertain times.

Exposure to COVID-19. For cases where there is a concern about a possible exposure to COVID-19, but this is ruled out after evaluation, it is appropriate to assign the code Z03.818, “Encounter for observation for suspected exposure,” with other biological agents ruled out.

For cases where there is an actual exposure to someone who is confirmed to have COVID-19, it is appropriate to assign the code Z20.828, “Contact with and (suspected) exposure to other viral communicable diseases.”

Signs and symptoms. For patients presenting with any signs/symptoms (such as fever, cough or respiratory symptoms) and where a definitive diagnosis has not been established, assign the appropriate code(s) for each of the presenting signs and symptoms such as: R05 Cough, R06.02 Shortness of breath, R50.9 Fever or unspecified.

Note: Diagnosis code B34.2, “Coronavirus infection, unspecified,” would generally not be appropriate for the COVID-19, because the cases have universally been respiratory in nature, so the site would not be “unspecified.”

If the provider documents “suspected,” “possible” or “probable” COVID-19, do not assign code B97.29. Assign a code(s) explaining the reason for encounter (such as fever, or Z20.828).

This coding guidance has been developed by the CDC and approved by the four organizations that make up the Cooperating Parties: the National Center for Health Statistics, the American Health Information Management Association, the American Hospital Association, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

For more information on providing healthcare services during and in light of growing coronavirus cases, refer to the CDC’s COVID-19 clinical presentation and stay up to date on developments by regularly visiting the CDC’s website.

Local Mom Aims to Lift Church Members' Spirits Around the World. With depression and anxiety rising around the nation, she uses her gifts in hopes to lift people's spirits.

On May 5th, 2020, Myreah Eley, mom, singer-songwriter and rapper, released a single entitled “Praise Him” for an upcoming album her and her spouse call “Pandemic”. The single is giving listeners a happy church-vibe feel that we could not achieve due to social distancing.

“I wanted to give fellow Christians something to jam to. I think we all miss church and hearing a good choir sing,” Myreah stated. “When we engineered the song, it was only right that we left it sounding live and raw.”

Myreah and her spouse lost someone very dear to them back in March. Since then, the positive couple has went on to create music, videos, and additional creatives that they plan to reveal overtime. Myreah is also working on a book for those who struggle with depression, and she plans to have it available on Amazon by mid-July.

Myreah is a mom of five and a stepmother of three. In spite of her surroundings and circumstances, she is completely optimistic about the future. Her faith remains at the forefront of her heart, and she continues to allow God to be the foundation of her marriage, family, and music. With depression and anxiety rising around the nation, she uses her gifts in hopes to lift people’s spirits. “I had to remind my brothers and sisters that we still have millions of reasons to praise Him!”

Praise Him is available on YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, iTunes, and other streaming platforms. You can also download the song on her label’s website at eleyenforcementent.life.

Women in coworking spaces have increased dramatically over the past few years. The survey showed that in 2019, women made up just over half of coworking members, reaching the majority for the very first time. In 2012, contrastingly they only made up 33%.

42% of coworking members in 2019 were freelancers. Coworking spaces have always been hubs of creativity for freelance workers. As the proportion of freelancers in the workforce grows, so has the popularity of coworking spaces.

The age of coworkers has remained steady. Currently, at 36.9 years old, the mean age of coworkers has remained stable over the past years. The average age of the U.S. population in 2019 was 38.2, while the average age of the workforce was 42.3, which suggests that coworking spaces skew slightly younger than the average workplace.

Coworking spaces aren’t very ethnically diverse (yet). 90% of U.S. coworking members identified themselves as white. (Around 72% of Americans identify as white.) 2019 was the first year that Deskmag asked survey participants to identify their race, so there aren’t yet any trends to compare this to.

Even co-working spaces have wage gaps. Unfortunately, gender and race wage gaps were still present in coworking spaces. The data also showed that city coworking members made significantly more money than rural members (which reflects general assumptions), and those self-employed individuals made less than employees of larger companies.

Coworking spaces continue to support digital nomads. Traveling professionals have always made use of coworking spaces. In 2019, they made up 14% of coworking members.

Researchers hope that knowing these numbers can help the coworking industry raise awareness about the availability of coworking spaces. To learn more about the benefits of coworking for consultants, freelancers, and professionals, take a look at a prestigious Dallas coworking space virtual tour.

The economy is beginning to reopen – albeit slowly. Many states are reopening in phases, meaning not everything will open at the same time. The courts have already announced that they will not be opening until some time later and some are even exploring the possibility of hosting virtual hearings. Many law firms have continued operations remotely during the lockdown, holding meetings with clients by phone or video conferencing software such as Zoom. As the economy prepares to reopen, is your firm ready? Here are a few strategies your firm could put into practice to help prepare for a smooth transition back to work.

Six Law Firm Marketing Strategies During COVID-19

1. Communication is King

2. Create Unique COVID-19 Content

3. Build Site Authority

4. Find Your Niche

5. Managing Your Lawyer Listings

6. Social Media

Communication is King

Communication is king, queen, princess, elf, you name it. Communication is everything in unprecedented times such as this. The COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic has caused large scale havoc and at this point, no one really knows what to expect. I mean the Government has even confirmed UFO’s and it was barely blinked at during the mess that is COVID-19. Your clients need to hear from you.

Many individuals needing the assistance of a law firm are doing so out of necessity and it’s normally not for something good. Provide your clients some reassurances that you’re still working on their case(s). With COVID causing widespread panic, let your clients know what steps you’ll be taking when you reopen to prevent the spread of the virus. Are you going to wipe down every pen, clipboard and door handle after it’s used? Only allow a certain number of individuals in at one time? Require masks? Those are all things you should be thinking about and communicating out to your clients.

Create Unique Content During COVID-19

Some of the law firms that Precision Legal Marketing works with absolutely crushed the competition these last few months by producing COVID-19 related content. Many law firms weren’t really sure which direction to take things, but there were those that withstood the challenge and had their idle attorneys work on blogs and various other content that had them ranking high consistently and driving large volumes of traffic to their website.

Take advantage of the time you have to get ahead of the content game. Precision Legal Marketing founder had this to say “Building unique content marketing strategies can give you the competitive advantage over the competition.” Why not write an article for a press release or some extra articles you can use for your blog during your down time? Have a list of email addresses? Send them an informative newsletter while also demonstrating your expertise on the matter. The economic downturn doesn’t have to mean failure; let’s aim for success.

Google My Business has even created a way for businesses to easily update their operating status during COVID-19. They have some other limited functionality to be aware of as well such as removing the ability for people to leave new reviews, disabling the ability for Q&A’s and the ability for businesses to respond to reviews.

Build Site Authority

As with all things, marketing is a balancing act. You can produce content for your website all day, every day but if you don’t also apply a healthy amount of attention to building site authority, your efforts may be in vain. As mentioned in Law Firm Marketing During COVID-19, About pages, posts that tie into the core identity of the firm become important here. Meaning, if you’re an estate attorney in Maryland, talk about planning an estate in Maryland (not only in the abstract) – highlight your experience… in Maryland, that sort of thing.

Find Your Niche

If the primary focus of your law firm is on personal injury and you’re talking about divorce, you’re not doing yourself any favors. Seek to establish yourself as a thought leader in your primary practice areas. When your clients are looking for an attorney, you want them to recognize you as an authority on the subject so as to instill confidence in their decision to choose your firm over another.

When writing COVID-19 content, which we still encourage (the virus is long from being over), write to your area. Honestly, COVID-19 has affected all areas of the law. Divorce, domestic violence, grand larceny, estate planning are all on the rise. While there may not be as much traffic on the roads, essential workers, truck drivers, they’re all still driving, and accidents are still happening. It’s finding where the trends and writing to that.

Managing Your Lawyer Listings

If you haven’t worked with a marketing agency to this point, you may be scratching your head. Lawyer listings include Avvo, Justia, SuperLawyers, etc. If you haven’t built those profiles, this is a great time to do so. If you haven’t looked at them in a while, again, this is a great time to do so. Many of those sites ask for resume information (such as SuperLawyers) and updating it may increase your odds of being nominated. All things considered though, you’ll want to make sure that your Name, Address(es), and Phone Number (NAPs) are all accurate on those platforms.

Social Media

There are 26 billion users of Facebook. And tons more on other social platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter. If your law firm doesn’t have a social media page, you’re missing out on a large pool of potential customers. Take this time to create and build up those FREE business profiles.

Already have a business page? Take the time to go through it. You’d be surprised at how many have inaccurate contact information, outdated photos, and/or are barely present. There are some really neat tools out there that allow you pre-schedule all of your social postings in advance and have them post automatically. You’ll still need to moderate, but that’s a lot easier to maintain once your law firm gets bustling again when your posts are scheduled in advance. Use this time to prepare your social posts and schedule them out so when you go back to your full workload that’s one less thing to worry about.

Whether your law firm is stepped up the game with content marketing or advertising, we encourage you to keep going. Your competition is looking for innovative ways to edge you out, so you need to take steps to stay relevant with your current and potential clients.

If you need a little help, Precision Legal Marketing is a one stop shop, full-service marketing agency ready to help your COVID-19 transition. We can help you craft a strategy to make reopening a seamless effort and help you stay at the forefront of your client’s mind.

Laplace, LA – 05/18/2020 — The audience craves sounds which soothe their souls, comedies which light up their laughter, broadcasts that bury their burdens, fireworks that frighten their frustrations and drama to tempt their tears. It is the mix of genre, talent and undulating waves of wonder; the recognition of people past and people present who have taken the “after works”, the weekends and the getaways to create unforgettable experiences.

Whether by the intimacy of in-house with remote in-hand or the community behind public gatherings with hands in the air, entertainment has become a main staple of the American culture. Perhaps it’s the creativity of new media which makes us curious, or maybe it’s the catwalks and clothing of fashion which hook our attention. The giggles and gossips stemming from television and radio make frequent trips to the real world, as do the come-back-for-more appeal of theater.

Mon, 18 May 2020 04:30:04 +0000https://newsreleases.submitpressrelease123.com/?p=28874

Data from the World Health Organization shows that of the annual 2.2 million environment-related deaths on the African continent, 600,000 are linked to outdoor air pollution.

Riverdale, NJ — Air pollution kills more Africans than childhood malnutrition or contaminated water. Fast-developing African nations such as Nigeria, Ethiopia, Egypt, and South Africa are especially affected by this problem.

A Silent Killer

Data from the World Health Organization shows that of the annual 2.2 million environment-related deaths on the African continent, 600,000 are linked to outdoor air pollution.

According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD):

Between 1990 and 2013, the total annual deaths from outdoor air pollution rose to 250,000, or 36 percent. Over the same time, deaths from household air pollution (HAP), or pollution from residential energy use, increased by 18 percent, representing 250,000 fatalities.

Staying indoors doesn’t help because the indoor air quality in a ‘sealed’ room is susceptible to outdoor air pollution. “Outdoor air can enter indoor spaces through cracks in the walls, ceilings, open doors and windows,” notes Mark Davidson, Manager of Marketing and Technical Materials at Camfil USA. “And unfortunately, through a system designed to protect the indoor inhabitants: the ventilation system.”

More than half of cases of infant pneumonia deaths in Africa are caused by inhaling soot, an indoor pollutant. Another 3.8 million deaths from non-communicable illnesses (such as stroke, COPD, heart disease, and lung cancer) are attributed to inefficient or unsafe use of solid fuels and kerosene for indoor cooking.

Where Does Air Pollution Come From?

Air pollution is the release and accumulation of harmful particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In large quantities, airborne pollutants are known to cause death and disease to humans, as well as billions of dollars of damage to animals and crops.

But where do particulate matter and VOCs come from?

“Virtually any manufacturing or industrial activity creates both particulate and VOC pollution, releasing organic and inorganic substances into the air that may cause a variety of diseases,” says Davidson, “Some cancers and exacerbated symptoms of pre-existing respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are most common.”

Success Stories

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) released a report at the second UN assembly discussing measures to improve air quality worldwide. The report showed that there’s still much work to be done, but highlighted the following success stories in African countries.

While billions of people around the world still depend on inefficient cookstoves and solid fuels for cooking, in Seychelles they succeeded in improving indoor air quality by implementing policies that encouraged the entire country to transition from solid fuels to liquefied petroleum gas.

A mere quarter of the world’s countries have advanced fuels and vehicle standards, a regulatory policy that is proven to reduce particulate matter pollution levels, especially in urbanized areas. In 2015, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, and Rwanda transitioned to using only low sulfur fuels.

Several African countries joined the rest of the world in implementing national air quality standards.

Choosing the Right Air Filter to Protect Your Health

With the wide array of filters available on the market, it’s important to know that each one is designed to remove specific types of pollutants.

When it comes to capturing particulate pollution, high efficiency mechanical air filters are commonly used. HEPA filters are included in this category.

For capturing VOCs, molecular filters, also called activated carbon filters are an effective solution.

Controlling both particulate and VOC pollution is possible, and a qualified professional can guide you through the process of selection. Before choosing an air filter, it’s important to work with a trusted air filter manufacturer.

To learn more about the importance of indoor air quality control, talk to Camfil USA.

The Internet of Things, also referred to as IoT, is the conglomeration of devices that collect and share data via the internet. If something is connected to the internet, other than a PC or smartphone, it is likely included in the definition of IoT. For example, these may be considered part of IoT:

• Smart thermostats

• Smart appliances

• Fitness bands

• Security cameras

• Smart TV’s

In fact, if it has the word “smart” in front of it, it likely means it is able to be connected to the internet and communicate without human control. Predictions by leading tech companies anticipate that by 2025, over 41 billion devices will make up the Internet of Things.

While some of these devices are pure novelty, such as toys, others are providing more customization and ease, such as automatic lighting and smart lockers.

Intelligent Lockers

Intelligent lockers are one innovation in the IoT space that are proving to be invaluable. These lockers are connected to the network in a way that allows control and flexibility, something standard lockers are missing. Intelligent lockers have smart design including security features like pin-numbers, biometric, or keycard access.

These security measures mean:

• No more lost keys

• No more rekeying lock

• No more key tracking

• No more lock-outs

• Access can change anytime it’s needed

• Greater security

Because of digitally stored pin numbers, biometrics, or keycards, all intelligent lockers can be deactivated or activated from a single control panel. This means rekeying due to staff turnover, broken locks, lost keys, and abandoned lockers have all become a thing of the past.

Technology is Making Security Stronger

Digital access with intelligent lockers create automatically generated access logs which increase accountability and security. In fact, intelligent lockers are already being used in government, law enforcement, and educational settings to protect assets, limit access, and safely store weapons, evidence, or high-value items.

Knowing who accessed what, when, and where, is now as simple as generating a report, remotely and at any time of day or night. Controlling this is also easier than ever. One can limit locker access to only the correct person at the right time to better manage high-value equipment or resources.

As IoT continues to grow and technology advances, the capability of everyday items will become more intelligent, helping us to streamline processes and protect assets. The need for intelligent lockers is already here and IoT has contributed to their success through technology that supports easily controlled entry and data collection. DeBourgh Manufacturing is an industry leader, providing top-of-line intelligent lockers for industries and businesses that need safer, more secure, and highly efficient locker systems.

DeBourgh All-American Lockers prides themselves on their all-steel and metal hybrid, US-made lockers, known for long-lasting strength and aesthetic congruency.

Two standouts in the Amazon performance
marketing realm—Buy Box Experts and Egility—have come together to
set a high industry standard for expertise and range of services.
With the acquisition successfully completed, the new company will
offer enhanced consulting services to clients of all sizes, drawing
on their combined experience managing over 1,000 Amazon accounts.

Both companies are respected for
providing high-touch services that help companies develop customized
growth strategies on the Amazon channel. Joseph Hansen, who will
continue as CEO of Buy Box Experts, LLC at the headquarters in
Lindon, Utah, said that the new company will raise
the bar in the Amazon vendor services industry.

“Egility is known for its culture of
innovation, particularly in the areas of advertising and
optimization,” said Hansen. “Their team has fostered the
creativity and forward-thinking that it takes for companies to stay
ahead of the competition in an increasingly crowded marketplace.”

Egility’s CEO, Liz Adamson, will take
over as Vice President of Account Management for Buy Box Experts.
The company will now have over 115 employees, nearly 20 percent of
whom were formerly employed by Amazon.

James Thomson, who will continue in his
role as partner at Buy Box, formerly served as the business head of
Amazon Services and the first Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) account
manager. He also authored “The Amazon Marketplace Dilemma,” which
helps brand executives with channel governance.

Thomson said that the company’s
wealth of insider Amazon knowledge is critical in helping sellers
succeed. “If you’re strictly looking at Amazon from the outside
in, you’re missing out on essential knowledge for helping merchants
navigate the complicated Amazon world,” said Thomson. “We have
been in the trenches and can
help guide Amazon sellers to thrive in the marketplace.”

The new team has hands-on experience
managing more than 1,000 third-party merchants and first-party brands
on Amazon. The acquisition will allow the company to offer even
greater expertise to sellers of all sizes—from startups to
sophisticated enterprise brands—and enhanced, customized consulting
for growth strategies, advertising, and product-listing optimization.

LLC, visit www.BuyBoxExperts.com.

As the world continues to “go digital,” the information technology (IT) equipment and infrastructure that companies use continues to grow in importance. Consequently, it is critical that these items be handled, packaged, crated and shipped with great care. This includes assets like:

Not only can damage caused by IT equipment shipping be very costly, issues like delays or logistical miscues can have significant business consequences as well. This is especially true if these problems affect project timelines or frustrate clients who are counting on the items arriving undamaged and on time.

IT Equipment Shipping Considerations

Keep these important IT equipment shipping considerations in mind as you prepare to ship large, fragile or high-value IT equipment:

Talk with your technology equipment shipping company first. Your staff may be able to handle many of the tasks below. However, before you dive in, you should talk with your IT shipping/logistics company. Doing so can prevent situations where you have to unpackage and repackage assets to properly protect them.

Assess the inherent damage risks for each item. Is the asset particularly fragile? Does it need to maintain a particular orientation as it makes its way through the shipping stream? Does it have components that could be removed or individually secured to provide better protection? The answers to these types of questions will be helpful for you and your IT equipment shipping company.

Review the manufacturer’s instructions for preparing computers/servers for shipping. If the company that produced an IT asset provides information on safe shipping, be sure to read the instructions, follow them and provide them to your technology equipment shipping company if they will be handling any of the packaging and crating.

Have reusable containers made if appropriate. If IT assets will be shipped frequently, a custom-designed case, crate or other packaging can help protect them and make it easier to prepare them for shipping. However, be sure to assess the condition of these containers regularly and replace them if they show signs of weakening or damage.

Ensure technology equipment is packaged in a way that addresses any environmental concerns. For example, if you are shipping servers overseas via ocean transport, they can be affected by corrosion and must be vapor-barrier bagged with moisture-absorbing desiccant added to the packaging. A humidity indicator card can also be placed inside the barrier bag to provide information on moisture levels.

Understand Most IT equipment has data loaded on the hardware. Whether it is an entire server rack or just a printer, almost all this hardware comes with some form of software. This is important to understand because this data can become corrupt due to electrostatic discharge. Please speak to your IT/Shipping logistics company on how to mitigate these risks.

Consider whether data security is an issue. If the IT equipment you are shipping holds sensitive data, it is important to ensure that it is properly protected from the time it is picked up, through the packaging and crating process, and while in transit. Companies that ship IT equipment should have secure facilities and be able to provide around-the-clock monitoring of items in their possession.

Follow all packaging, crating and shipping guidelines of the destination country. Your logistics provider can help you understand restrictions like the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM 15) requirement that all solid wood packing material be heat treated and stamped with an official mark to prevent pest infestation.

Get adequate insurance. When shipping computers and other IT equipment, be sure you know the value of the items and then obtain insurance through the shipping company, your own insurer or both that is sufficient to cover loss of or damage to the assets.

Ensure that accurate tracking is used. Your IT shipping and logistics company should be able to determine the location of your shipment at any stage of its journey.

Train your staff. Anyone involved in IT equipment shipping should be well-versed in the strategies above. All it takes is one misunderstanding or mistake to greatly increase the risk of damage.

IT Equipment Shipping Logistics Expertise Is Critical

The transport of oversized, expensive, or sensitive IT equipment is something that must be done carefully and with full knowledge of all the risks involved. Preparing assets for shipping using a “best guess” approach can lead to items being damaged or destroyed en route or when they are unboxed by the recipient.

Ideally you should work with an IT equipment shipping logistics provider that specializes in moving IT equipment like servers and server racks. The skill and experience of their packaging engineers, freight handlers and logistics experts can help ensure that valuable assets make it to their destination on time and free of damage.

How will you know if a specialty packaging, crating and shipping company has the IT equipment shipping expertise you need? In a quick phone call or exchange of emails, they can demonstrate that their offerings align with your needs.

COVID-19 has made quite an impact in the last few weeks and months, and while many businesses are closed and residents are sheltering-in-place, it’s important that home is a safe place to stay. Using the right products, applied properly, is your best practice to prevent the spread of disease. Here’s what our cleaning experts are doing, and what we recommend for you based on our years of professional cleaning experience.

First, what we are doing

As always, we will be wiping down common areas and high-touch surfaces. We will be paying extra attention to reception areas, phones, elevator buttons, railings, doorknobs, and handles. While these are all part of our regular cleaning services, we want you to know that we are being extra diligent in our search for touched surfaces and disinfecting them.

We are also not allowing anyone to perform work who have had symptoms in alignment with COVID-19, or have had contact with someone who has, unless they have a negative test result. This is a standard you should expect from anyone entering your home.

Likewise, if you are sick or in quarantine, we ask that you wait until the allotted time has passed before having us visit and we thank you for helping us to stay healthy.

Next, what you can do for your home

Cleaning with the correct products and according to the manufacturer’s instructions is the way to most effectively remove all germs, bacteria, and viruses. Regular cleaning is important in order to keep sanitary living conditions.

Wash Hands. The most important thing you can do is to keep your hands clean and follow proper hand-washing guidelines. Clean hands, especially before and after eating or preparing food, going outside, and using the restroom. Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose, and mouth to prevent germs from entering your body.

Extra Care. In your home, give extra care to the bathroom and kitchen areas. These two areas of your home will harbor the most germs, so take time to wipe down counters and handles on a regular basis. Phones, handheld devices, railings, and knobs are also high-touch and should be wiped with antibacterial cleaners or bleach solutions at least weekly.

Remove Shoes. Studies have shown that a lot of the dirt, debris, bacteria, and viruses enter our homes through our shoes. Leave your shoes at the door rather than tracking grime across your floor. Ask guests to use booties or remove their shoes as well. Your health will thank you.

Mon, 18 May 2020 04:17:05 +0000https://newsreleases.submitpressrelease123.com/?p=28859

If you’re wondering how you can increase your rankings in 2020 and what has changed since the last year, you’re at the right place. Read on to learn more!

In 2014, Google published its new Search Quality Guidelines that included that mnemonic “E.A.T.” These guidelines suggested that all websites must focus on Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness for better performance on Google’s search quality evaluations, and to increase rankings.

It wasn’t until 2020 that Google brought it back up, this time, with a vengeance. Google has now given its evaluators more of a say in determining the rankings of your website.

Google has evaluators numbering in thousands who manually review websites listed on the search engine, based on these guidelines. Although they can’t improve or reduce your rankings directly, they will submit feedback to Google and ‘recommend’ actions the search engine should take.

The website will then be reviewed again and if rankings need to be altered, Google will do so. So one can say that Google is now taking these recommendations rather seriously.

Google suggests that:

“For all other pages that have a beneficial purpose, the amount of expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (E-A-T) is very important.”

Evaluators consider:

Whether E-A-T guidelines are followed

The website structure/design

Information and value provided by the website

And that’s where your blog posts or websites come into play.

Increasing Google SERP Rankings

E Is for Expertise

What’s the best way to tell the world that you have expertise in your field and know what you’re talking about? Write an eBook or long-form content on it. If you post it on your website, Google will read it. And not just Google bots, but evaluators as well as bots from other search engines.

If you’re offering the right value to the right people, you will get good feedback from evaluators in terms of ‘expertise’. You simply need to offer valuable insights into your area of expertise and give the reader a chance to learn something new.

Your bio or about us page plays a small role here as well in letting people know you’re an authority figure and have the relevant expertise. Which brings us to our next point…

A Stands for Authority

It’s one thing to write the right content, it’s entirely another to have other authors link to you. Backlinks play an important role in determining your website’s authority which you can either do by guest posting, or by simply allowing or encouraging people to use parts of your articles or blogs free of charge – so long as they link it back to you.

T Means Trustworthiness

Again, your about us page or an author’s bio plays a major role in helping readers and visitors understand that you’re a trustworthy source of information – whether it’s your website’s About Us page, article, or perhaps an eBook. The idea here is to let users know that the information they’re getting is from an expert who’s worked in the field. You can take the whole ‘about the author’ section to explain your expertise.

Use your expertise to provide value to readers, and as you continue to do so, people come back, again and again, to read more and make decisions based on the information you’ve provided. This effectively increases your trustworthiness.

Writing Content & Designing Website for All Three

The more trustworthy you are, the more traffic you generate. The more traffic you generate, the better you rank. The better you rank, the more people will link to your site, thus increasing authority. Authority is further reinforced as you incorporate a bio at the end of your article page or simply tell more about yourself in the about us page.

And thus, the trifecta of Google’s E.A.T requirement is completed – all thanks to well-written and well-placed content. While all this might not have had much of an effect about a year ago, the 2020 update means that fulfilling these requirements is a surefire way to improve your domain expertise.

You might have noticed that we’ve mentioned that you’re going to have to provide value to your readers throughout the website, which might require experience as a writer as well as a marketer. There is a fine line between under and overdoing digital marketing. And that is where you need to be in order to increase your rankings on SERP.

For help getting your business out there and generating more traffic to your website, we recommend you get in touch with us today and schedule a free consultation. We’ll go through your website and give you a rough idea of what you can do to improve your rankings on all search engines – not just Google!

If you have anything you’d like to add or have any questions, let us know down in the comments and we’ll gladly address them!

Doctors are not perfect, but when they are negligent and make medical mistakes, it can lead to misdiagnosis, serious injury or death. Electronic health records (EHRs) are now used by 90% of all doctors, hospitals and medical professionals. These EHRs are contributing to medical malpractice lawsuits. The number of lawsuits involving EHRs has tripled in the last 8 years. If you have suffered injuries due to a health provider’s negligence involving EHRs, you may have the right to receive compensation. The following are the 8 most common reasons your EHRs may cause medical malpractice by a doctor, nurse, or other health professional.

Design Flaws

Technology is not perfect, and EHRs often have technological or design flaws. However, sometimes the vendors of these EHRs will include clauses that release them from any liability; they attempt to put the full liability for any medical malpractice on physicians and medical professionals.

Incorrect Information

These are simply electronic devices and software. They are only as good as the information that they have stored inside of them. Oftentimes, there can be inaccurate or outdated patient information stored. If a doctor relies on incorrect or outdated information, then they may give the wrong medication or a wrong diagnosis.

Also, some of the voice-recognition software does not record and transcribe information perfectly. With incorrect or inaccurate data, a doctor can easily make a medical error.

Copy and Paste

Copy and paste errors are some of the most common errors leading to medical negligence. Doctors or nurses may erroneously copy and paste information from the last patient visit into the patient’s EHR. However, some information could have changed since the last appointment. These technology errors can cause medical malpractice by doctors.

Auto-populate

Similar to the copy and paste error, the medical fields of a patient may already be filled out. Medical history and physical or procedure notes could be auto-populated from older notes or even a template. In these cases, the auto-population could be incorrect, and not taken from the most recent medical information. Doctors need recent and accurate medical information to determine a medical condition. Without accurate medical history, there is a greater chance of medical malpractice.

Typos

It is hard to imagine that a simple typo could cause injury or death. When a nurse or doctor types a condition, medication, or test in an EHR incorrectly, however, it could lead to catastrophic injuries or death. Many medications and tests have very similar names. Any type of data-entry error could cause a patient record to be wrong. These mistakes rise to the level of medical negligence, even if the typo was seemingly insignificant.

Distraction

When a doctor or nurse has their eyes on their computer, their eyes are not on you. These electronic devices take away attention from the patient, which can result in misreading the patient’s symptoms. Also, patient interaction is very important. If a patient feels as if they are being ignored, they may not tell their entire medical issue. Distraction by such technology can cause the doctor-patient to be broken for this reason. Without giving full attention to a patient, a doctor may be negligent in prescribing the correct medicine or ordering appropriate tests.

Technology Burnout

Doctors are responsible for the information they provide to patients. The doctor-patient relationship is sacred. It is important that no matter what, the communication between a doctor and a patient remains open and understandable. Technology consumes much of a doctor’s time due to EHRs. With technology burnout, doctors are exhausted. Doctors are not paying attention in examination rooms, because they are looking at computer screens. The exhaustion caused by technology burnout leads to negligent errors.

The Type of Medical Practice

Some types of medical practices have more instances of medical malpractice due to EMRs. The top spot goes to family medical doctors. This may be because family medical doctors see many more patients, with a wide range of medical issues, which could lead to increased errors. The percentage of medical malpractice cases due to EMRs in different kinds of medical practices is listed below:

Family medicine: 8 percent

Internal medicine: 8 percent

Cardiology: 6 percent

Radiology: 6 percent

Obstetrics: 5 percent

Orthopedics: 5 percent

Nursing: 5 percent

Hospital medicine: 4 percent

Gynecology: 4 percent

Emergency medicine: 3 percent

Anesthesiology: 3 percent

Plastic surgery: 3 percent

Urology surgery: 3 percent

General surgery: 3 percent

Contact an Experienced Attorney Today

When there are errors in electronic medical records, patients can be seriously injured. In fact, statistics show that for medical errors due to EMRs, 25% of the injuries result in death. Other injuries include adverse reactions to medicines, a need for surgery, emotional trauma, an undiagnosed malignancy, organ damage, infections and more. If you were injured by your doctor or hospital, you may have a strong medical malpractice claim.

The Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) is part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES”). It is designed to help small businesses continue to pay employees despite the massive economic disruption from the novel Coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

PPP is a $669 billion program. It provides loans to eligible small businesses on favorable terms that may, in the future, be forgiven. The amount of the loan is about 2.5 times the business’ average monthly payroll costs.

WHAT KINDS OF PPP FRAUD ARE POSSIBLE?

As with any large government benefit program, there is a substantial potential for fraud by loan applicants. Broadly speaking, the possibilities for applicant fraud fall into three categories: (1) eligibility; (2) loan amount; and (3) necessity.

Eligibility: The PPP has a number of eligibility criteria. They include, among other things:

-Being in business as of February 15, 2020;

-Not having so many employees or so much net worth that the business is not a “small business”;

-Not being owned, in whole or in part, by an undocumented alien;

-No owner of 20% or more of the business may be incarcerated, on probation, on parole, subject to a criminal charge, or convicted of a felony in the last five years.

A person who falsely certifies in the application that the business meets a criterion that it does not meet can be subject to federal criminal charges. For example, if the business was created in order to take advantage of the loan program and did not exist before February 15, 2020, but an owner certifies that it was, this type of false statement could result in criminal prosecution.

Loan Amount: The PPP ties the loan amount to average monthly payroll costs. The loan amount is supposed to be 2.5 times the business’ average monthly payroll. The purpose of this formula is so that the business can pay employees for about two and a half months while trying to recover from the financial effects of the novel Coronavirus shutdowns.

Some might be tempted to overstate payroll costs in order to get a bigger loan than they are entitled to receive. False statements that are designed to obtain a larger loan than the business should receive could result in criminal prosecution.

The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Rhode Island has already charged two men for allegedly filing fraudulent loan applications claiming to have four businesses with numerous employees when, in fact, no employees actually worked for any of the businesses.

Necessity: In order to apply for a PPP loan, an applicant must certify that “current economic uncertainty makes this loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Applicant.”

A false statement of necessity for the loan could potentially result in criminal prosecution. The Small Business Administration has indicated that public companies with ready access to capital will probably not be able to meet the necessity test. A business that uses the loan simply to line the pockets of the owner, rather than to support ongoing business operations, could also face possible criminal charges for falsely certifying necessity.

WHAT KINDS OF CRIMINAL CHARGES ARE POSSIBLE FOR PPP FRAUD:

A variety of federal criminal fraud statutes potentially apply to fraud in connection with the PPP program. They include:

-Misrepresentations to the Small Business Association under 15 U.S.C. § 645(d).

A violation of any of these statutes is a federal felony offense that is punishable by federal prison time.

WHAT DEFENSES ARE THERE TO CHARGES OF FRAUD IN CONNECTION WITH THE PPP PROGRAM?

Any federal fraud case will turn on its specific facts. However, there are some common defenses that apply to fraud cases, including alleged PPP fraud.

-Truth: It may be possible to show that the allegedly false statement was not, in fact, false. For example, if federal prosecutors claim that a business did not have a real necessity for a PPP loan, it may be possible to show that there are facts of which federal agents were not aware that created a need for the loan.

-Good faith or innocent mistake: In order to prove a criminal violation of fraud or false statement statute, the Government must show that the accused had the necessary criminal intent to make a false statement or to deceive. An innocent mistake, or one made in good faith, such as in good faith reliance on the advice of an accountant, is an effective defense.

-Materiality: The Government must show that any alleged false statement was “material.” This means that it was significant enough to have the capacity or a natural tendency to influence the determination required to be made. See United States v. Lueben, 838 F.2d 751, 754 (5th Cir. 1988). A false statement that is not significant enough will not support a criminal charge.

CONCLUSION:

Federal investigative agencies will be on the lookout for any potential fraud in connection with the PPP program. Any federal criminal fraud allegation is a serious matter and can result in prison time. If you are being investigated, or if you have been charged, concerning fraud in connection with the PPP program, you should consult an experienced federal criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Acting quickly can help you get out in front of the investigation or the charges and can make the difference between a positive outcome and a disaster.

Lawsuits brought over dangerous conditions at jails and prisons in Texas are nothing new. However, the coronavirus epidemic threatens added dangers to inmates who claim they are being unnecessarily exposed to illness.

Two older inmates at the notorious Pack Unit, the Wallace Pack prison, near Houston have sued the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. They claim the prison failed to implement measures required to protect inmates from the coronavirus (COVID-19), the pandemic sweeping the world.

The lawsuit calls on the prison authorities to implement safety measures to protect inmates from the potentially-deadly virus, the Texas Tribune reported.

The complaint states that notwithstanding the “ticking time bomb” that the epidemic represents, the TDCJ failed to take the necessary action and has even failed to implement many of its own policies.

The inmates asked U.S. District Judge Keith Ellison to provide all prisoners in the Pack Unit with access to disposable towels, hand soap, hand sanitizer, and adequate supplies for hourly cleanings of surfaces such as phones and door handles that can harbor the coronavirus.

COVID-19, the respiratory disease the new coronavirus causes, has killed tens of thousands of people worldwide. Texas reported 2,877 cases and 38 deaths from the coronavirus on March 30.

Poor hygiene and overcrowding in prisons are seen as an incubator for the disease. Some states have released non-violent inmates.

The federal government has also acted. U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced in March that he was instructing the Bureau of Prisons to increase the use of home confinement for eligible federal prisoners. He said:

“Many inmates will be safer in BOP facilities where the population is controlled and there is ready access to doctors and medical care. But for some eligible inmates, home confinement might be more effective in protecting their health.”

In Texas, at least two prisoners and seven employees at TDCJ have tested positive for the virus at lockups.

The Tribune reported the TDCJ has implemented a new infectious disease control policy that focuses on education and disinfecting prison areas. The Pack Unit inmates say it doesn’t go far enough.

Prisoners at the Pack Unit previously brought lawsuits over overheating at the facility. In 2014, a group of inmates sued the Texas Department of Criminal Justice citing the lack of air conditioning. The lawsuit said two dozen prisoners died from heatstroke over last the two decades and temperatures at the unit which regularly reached 100 degrees and higher.

Four years later, Judge Ellison finalized a settlement proposal that included fitting air conditioning at the Pack Unit at College Station.

The grim conditions at Texas’ prisons are a threat to the health of inmates, especially during the coronavirus epidemic. If you or a family member has been accused of a crime, talk to an experienced Dallas criminal defense attorney about a strategy to avoid prison time if possible. Our attorneys also work on appeals to get inmates out of jail. Call us at (214) 720-9552.

Coworking Spaces have been around for quite a while now, and their popularity all over the world has increased rather rapidly in the last two decades. It doesn’t just give small businesses a comfortable and flexible workspace, it also presents an opportunity for large businesses to save up on costs.

The market for these working spaces is still relatively new, gaining popularity back in 2017 yet taking the world by storm. When the idea was in its infancy (2007), there were no more than 14 coworking spaces in the US, a figure that stood at 4,043 in 2017.

With the idea now starting to find its roots everywhere, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, a question arises with regards to whether the concept is nothing more than a trend or whether it’s here to stay.

Coworking Spaces as a Trend

The concept of coworking spaces has gained popularity not just because of its cost-effectiveness, but also the increase in productivity the concept brings with it. However, despite being such an attractive option, there are many companies that had started using coworking spaces just because it was trendy.

The idea of renting an executive office suite just to show off to clients, shared desk spaces only to make corporate videos, and show the world how their company was becoming more and more popular.

Furthermore, the ‘shared’ workspace meant that fewer resources were being used, effectively reducing the carbon footprint of the company. While a commendable cause, not every company used it that way.

You might remember, ‘green’ was a trendy topic not too long ago – the remnants of which still remain. Yes, the idea is a good one, but using it solely for marketing purposes or to sell items at a higher cost is something else entirely.

Coworking Spaces – 2020’s Way of Reducing Costs

2020 has been a rough year for everyone – that is no secret, but once nature’s ‘hard mode’ setting gets reverted and the pandemic ends (or at least slows down), businesses will be hard-pressed for making reforms in order to cover the losses they faced due to the lockdown.

We’ll get into the details of how coworking spaces can play a vital role in lowering costs in our next blog. Here are how coworking spaces can help you reduce business expenses.

Better Locations; Lower Expenses

With the popularity of shared office spaces increasing every day and businesses looking to cut costs in any way, shape, or form, it is only natural for the demand for these places to increase as well. And as that happens, supply is also increasing – basic demand and supply.

More office spaces to choose from means that businesses will be able to choose between different sites, saving up on costs in terms of commute, deliveries, etc. For example, an accounting firm close to the IRS head office or a law firm two blocks from the court will save up on commute not only for your staff but for your clients as well.

No Maintenance Responsibilities

Having your own office means that you have to suffer through having to pay maintenance fees and overheads, including but not limited to:

Utility bills

Internet

Fixture and fittings maintenance

Support staff

Rent (if applicable), and more.

In a coworking space, you only have to pay rent for the desk, chair, or room you’re going to use. Shared desks end up saving a lot in rent and other overheads for your employees, and if you wish to have a dedicated desk, that is also most of the time cheaper than having to pay maintenance fees.

Plus, having to pay just the rent amount means that you don’t have to worry about all the other bills, i.e. when they will be levied, when you have to make payments, the amount due, etc. That’s all the owner’s responsibility.

Encourage Creativity & Co-Creativity

In a coworking office space, your employees and even you get to meet other small businesses as well as freelancers working under the same circumstances as you. This gives you a clearer perspective over things, and perhaps the chance to share ideas with those people to get an independent view on things.

This sense of ‘comradery’ doesn’t just improve creativity but also co-creativity, as people learn to work together on projects.

Do you know about Tuckman’s stages of group development? The forming, storming, norming, performing? Well, in a coworking space, teams form, yes. But since there are so many players involved in a project and other independent people in the same situation as your employees (figuratively), teams sometimes altogether skip the storming part or have reduced impact.

Instead, teams perform better, leading to increased revenue and less time lost. Small business owners and freelancers need to take every step possible to reduce costs so that resources can be diverted elsewhere, such as toward growing the company.

All this shows that coworking spaces are no longer just a trend, but a way to save up considerably in terms of operating costs. It might not be as cozy or private as a personal office, but it’s well worth it if you’re looking to grow rapidly.

If you’re looking for a Dallas flexible office space with a shared or dedicated desk, or perhaps a dedicated executive office suite in Dallas and save up on costs, we recommend that you get in touch with us.

Dallas, TX – While there aren’t many plus sides to state- and nation-wide shelter in place, the chance to work from home might seem like a dream come true for many. But many Dallas professionals are discovering that the convenience of remote work means sacrificing productivity and work quality.

If that’s been a challenge for you, here are five simple ways you can do to maximize your productivity and make the most of your time in quarantine. Read our blog post here https://venturexdcc.com/try-coworking/.

Make lists.

If you’re overwhelmed by the buildup of work and aren’t sure where to start, try making to-do lists. Breaking large projects into smaller tasks can help you visualize your day, as well as give you the satisfaction of regularly achieving manageable goals.

Find your most productive hours.

Setting a work schedule that best fits your internal clock will help you put your best work forward, even if circumstances otherwise aren’t ideal. If you’re not sure what hours work best for you, try out different work schedules until you find the one that maximizes your productivity.

Take frequent breaks.

It might be tempting to try and work on a single task for hours at a time, but taking frequent breaks is more ideal for productivity, according to research. One popular method is the Pomodoro Technique, which involves working for 25 minutes and taking a five-minute break, and then taking a longer break every two hours.

Manage distractions.

One of the biggest drawbacks of working from home is that you have to share your office space with pets, children, roommates, or even noisy neighbors, which creates a whole host of distractions that you wouldn’t typically have in the workplace. For some people, designating a space that is solely for work can help. Even if it’s just setting up a desk in a corner of a room or rearranging furniture to box yourself into an ‘office,’ the feeling of ‘going to work’ can help with managing distractions.

Check out a Dallas Coworking Modern Flexible Office Space

Whether it’s because you’re overwhelmed by distractions or just lonely, working from home might not be for you. Fortunately, there’s a solution for those who don’t thrive in remote or traditional offices. In a flexible workspace, you can rent an office space that works for you when you need it, without being locked into a long-term contract. If you prefer your own space, there are private office options, and if you prefer a collaborative space, you can rent a shared desk and interact with other professionals during your workday. To get the best of both worlds, choose our Venture X Dallas Campbell Centre modern and sophisticated space that allows you to skip the busy downtown commute while still reaping the benefits of a prestigious location.

Just two weeks after his nineteenth birthday, Gabriel Gutierrez had a tumor removed from his body. When biopsy results came back, he was faced with a diagnosis of Stage 3 cancer, which had started to spread.

Doctors worked quickly to stop the spread to Gabriel’s brain. Now only a month after his birthday, he was in the ICU, receiving chemotherapy.

Since Gabriel started treatment, his mother, Patricia Solis, had to stop working. Bills, however, kept coming, and she turned to Texans Can Academies, where Gabriel was in his senior year. The school stepped in to help with food, utilities, and rental-assistance referrals. With these resources in place, Gabriel’s family could focus on what was most important: his recovery—and his future.

Over the next few months, Gabriel’s teachers called or texted to ask how he was. His family was assured that, while Gabriel was getting better, he could also still get his diploma. They were there to support him.

“The whole staff at Can is amazing at helping us,” Patricia said.

The family has known Texans Can for some time. Gabriel’s younger sister attends there also, and his older brother, now a student at St. Philip’s College, is a Texans Can graduate.

This May, the same will be true of Gabriel. Thanks to the support he and his family have received from Texans Can, Gabriel can look forward to a new part of his journey. His teachers say his courage has inspired them all.

“He wants to attend college and be a firefighter,” Patricia said.

Gabriel continues to battle his cancer, but his family is hopeful that chemotherapy will soon be behind him. He has much to look forward to.

Four years running, Columbine Label recognized for workplace safety and risk management

CENTENNIAL, Colo. –Columbine Label Company is honored by Pinnacol Assurance, Colorado’s leading workers’ compensation insurer, with its 2019 Circle of Safety Award. Because of the high standards for this award, less than one percent of Pinnacol policy holders, only 50 Colorado employers, earn the award for their exemplary performance in safety, risk control, and financial and claims management. For Columbine Label, this is the fourth consecutive year receiving the award.

“This year’s Circle of Safety winners recognize that workplace safety is about much more than checking some boxes,” said Phil Kalin, Pinnacol’s president and CEO. “These employers are creating a safety culture that permeates everything they do, and the result is a healthier, more productive workforce.”

Pinnacol created the Circle of Safety Award with the understanding that exceptional risk management is the result of a circle of many people working together. From top management and frontline employees to Pinnacol representatives and the policyholders’ agents, everyone plays a role in making Colorado workplaces safer.

“At Columbine Label, safety trumps profit,” said Greg Jackson, Columbine Label President. “We continually strive to provide the highest quality products, but never compromise on safety standards to produce them. We take responsibility for safety as a service to ourselves, our customers, and the environment, always seeking opportunities to reduce risks to human health and the environment beyond standard compliance requirements; very simply, it is the right thing to do.”

A long-term culture of safety is inextricably woven throughout Columbine Label’s way of doing business. Holding a Colorado Cost Containment certification and an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 0.85 or less are two examples of Columbine Label’s unwavering focus, and dedication in the achievement of exemplary safety standards.

For many people, the idea of divorce is overwhelming for a number of reasons. In addition to ending your marriage and dividing your assets, you must also contend with the financial cost. Will it be expensive? Can you afford it?

These are normal questions to ask, and it’s understandable that anyone might feel intimidated and anxious about the costs associated with divorce. In fact, some people are tempted to turn to do-it-yourself divorce.

In recent years, a number of DIY divorce websites have appeared online. These sites promise an easy and straightforward path to getting a divorce without hiring a lawyer.

However, there are downsides to doing this. Technically, anyone can represent himself or herself in court, and there is no legal requirement to hire a lawyer.

On the other hand, divorce is a lawsuit. Like any other lawsuit, there are procedural rules to follow and statutory deadlines for filing various forms and motions. Additionally, a divorce involves two parties.

While you might want an uncontested divorce, you can’t control what your spouse wants. If you have children or you own a property, a divorce can quickly become far more complicated than you anticipated.

If you’re thinking of a DIY divorce, consider these five possible pitfalls.

1. You Could End Up with Fewer Assets or More Debt

Many people assume that all divorces involve an equal division of all assets and debts. However, this isn’t always the case. In North Carolina, as in the majority of most states, courts divide property according to the rule of equitable distribution. This doesn’t necessarily mean that everything is divided 50/50.

In some cases, one spouse might own separate property, which belongs solely to that person and isn’t subject to division. Also, some debts may not be marital debts.

If you try to negotiate property distribution and debt allocation on your own, you may inadvertently end up taking on more debt than you should. You could also walk away with far less property than you’re entitled to.

2. You May Not Receive Enough Child Support

Courts in North Carolina decide how much child support to order based on the best interest of the children. The statute includes a formula for determining how much child support the court should order.

However, there are circumstances in which children require more support. The child support award might also be subject to adjustment based on what kind of custody arrangement the parents have.

You can return to court after your divorce if you need to modify a child support order, but it’s generally much easier to get it right the first time rather than attempt to fix a mistake at a later date. Returning to court down the road is also likely to cost more in the long run than hiring an experienced divorce lawyer like this one upfront, as you may encounter opposition from your ex.

3. Retirement Accounts and Property Assets Can Be Complicated

Have you considered all of your assets as you plan for a divorce? Do you or your ex own a business? What about retirement accounts or a pension?

Divorcing couples sometimes overlook these types of accounts when they start dividing their assets. It’s much easier to think about the property you can see and touch, such as your house, cars, and furniture.

When it comes to dividing a retirement account, however, you’re dealing with a non-tangible asset. Furthermore, you or your spouse might have started contributing to the account before your marriage, which means you must figure out how much of your retirement assets belong to you alone and how much is considered marital property.

4. DIY Divorces Aren’t Always State Specific

Each state has its own unique rules and laws regarding family law and divorce. From there, each county within each state can have its own specific rules and paperwork required to file a divorce, schedule a court date and any necessary hearings, and finalize the divorce.

If you’ve ever renewed your vehicle registration or your driver’s license, you probably know there is paperwork involved and maybe sometimes even a little bit of frustration. Now consider how you would handle an eviction on your own, or maybe a legal dispute at work or with a neighbor. Would you write your own will or draft your own real estate deed when you sell your house?

Generally, divorce is more complicated that these types of cases and documents. If you go with a DIY package of forms you purchase online, there’s a chance you’ll be missing a form or won’t quite know how to fill them out or file them with the court.

5. Your Spouse Might Not Agree

Even with an experienced lawyer at your side, you can go to court and have your spouse spring a surprise issue or disagreement on you at the last minute. People can sometimes get last-minute jitters when they appear in court to end their marriage.

Knowledgeable divorce lawyers know how to negotiate these last-minute disputes so your case can proceed smoothly. When you’re on your own, however, you might not know how to negotiate a resolution with your spouse. This can cause a delay in your case, and you might need to end up hiring a divorce lawyer anyway.

Contact a North Carolina Divorce Lawyer About Your Case

DIY divorce might work in cases where the marriage was short in duration, there are no children, and the couple has very few, if any, assets. However, most situations aren’t like that. If you’re thinking about a DIY divorce, it’s worth your time to schedule a consultation with an experienced North Carolina divorce lawyer so you can determine if your case is too complex for you to comfortably handle on your own.

As many of us are transitioning from vacation fever to cabin fever during the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s a good time to reflect on who or what inspires you. And sometimes that comes from the most unexpected of places – and or people.

For many Hollywood buffs (and many soldiers during World War II), the beautiful Hedy Lamarr (born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler in Vienna, Austria) was the pin-up girl and movie goddess. We remember her in “Movies” like “The Heavenly Body” (1944) or “Samson and Delilah” (1949). However for sustainable energy inventors like Kenneth W. Welch Jr, CEO of SeaDog systems (www.seadogsystems.com) she also had a heavenly mind along with her beauty. “Not always does beauty come with brains, but real intellect is always beautiful…” Says Kenneth W. Welch Jr, CEO of SeaDog systems

In the scientific community, Lamarr (and her partner, music composer George Antheil) are remembered for their 1942 patented “secret communication system,” invention, a frequency-hopping mechanism that laid the foundation for the development of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology. Recognition of the value of their work resulted in their being posthumously inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.

Hedy, who had no formal training, worked in her spare time on hobbies and inventions, which included an improved traffic stoplight and a tablet that would dissolve in water to create a carbonated drink. Admiring the great romantic interest of Aviation tycoon Howard Hughes, Hedy found a niche in him as a supportive fellow scientist. So much so that Hughes put his team of scientists and engineers at the disposal of her “inventive tinkering”. It was Lamarrwho suggested, he changes the square design of his airplanes to something more streamlined, based on her research along with pictures of the fastest birds and fish she could find.

Bringing together her skill sets in music, science, and munitions (by virtue of her first marriage to a munitions seller), Lamarr teamed up with pal George Antheil, a composer, to figure out how to stop German submarines from jamming allied radio signal: using the same mechanisms found in pianos. In the words of Antheil:

“We began talking about the war, which, in the late summer of 1940, was looking most extremely black. Hedy said that she did not feel very comfortable, sitting there in Hollywood and making lots of money when things were in such a state.”

One could say that things are “in a state” again. Only this time, we are fighting a global war against an enemy we cannot see. An enemy that challenges humanity towards a higher level of consciousness. Who will answer the call?

It’s time to think out of the box like Lamarr once again, says Mr. Welch.

The COVID-19 crisis has inspired many innovations, including new types of business models. One is the profit/non-profit, which allows a business to earn money so as to provide needed goods to

health care workers. “We were a bunch of concerned citizens who gathered and gave away thousands of masks at the beginning of the crisis” says Soani Gunawan, co-founder of

Getmasksforyouandhelphospitalstoo.com. “When we ran out, we decided to find high quality surgical masks and sell them to regular folks, and then use the proceeds to give away what we could to hospitals.”

They source cotton and polyester face masks and MERV filters from manufacturers in the U.S. and sell them online. ” Every purchase initiates

a donation of masks to a hospital, nursing home, assisted living facility, or foster home. “We all will be wearing masks for several months at least” says Publicity Director John Toomey. “We

might as well make our purchase mean more by also giving some to health care workers who desperately need them.”

Customers can choose the facility they want to receive the donated masks or let the company decide.

MOSHI, Tanzania – Tourism is a major part of Tanzania’s revenue, and it’s no wonder given the amazing natural habitat and features here. Featuring 20 national parks, including the most famous Serengeti, and the world’s highest free-standing mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania hosts over a million adventurous travelers each year.

Zara Tours, an award-winning East African travel company has some advice to offer to explorers to the area:

Rest

Being well-rested is critical. Sometimes when people vacation, they want to push through and see everything. However, when they return home, they are often exhausted and need a vacation from their vacation! Build in downtime when you travel, giving yourself enough time to see both planned sights and allowing for spontaneity.

If hiking Mount Kilimanjaro, choose a longer trek to allow for proper acclimation. Even one more day can contribute to your success and is more cost-effective than coming back to try again. Take your time and be sure to rest.

Diet

Diet is also important and an often-overlooked part of travel. Especially if doing a physically challenging adventure, like mountain climbing or lots of walking, bring snacks to build energy. Trying different cuisine is fun, but you will also want foods that are familiar so you don’t disrupt your digestion.

Lodging

Where you stay is important. Know your goals when choosing accommodations in Tanzania. Hotel and camping options are available, so be clear about the experience you desire and make sure expectations and reality match.

For example, if you are trekking Kilimanjaro, camping is part of the multi-day experience. Full-day safaris often include wildcamps for overnight rest. This is like camping but with private bathrooms and exotic semi-permanent tent structures. Places like Zanzibar offer beautiful full-amenity hotels and are perfect for relaxing comfortably after hiking or safari.

About ZARA TOURS

With over 30 years of experience, award-winning Zara Tours offers the best in trained climbing guides, accommodations, and safari operators to give a once-in-a-lifetime experience you will want to relive time and again. Our local company owns and operates local hotels, lodges, and wild camps to create a truly amazing adventure while giving proceeds straight back into the community.

Dallas, TX – Whether they’re manmade or an act of nature, disasters can be devastating for a business.

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), up to 60 percent of small businesses never reopen after a disaster. Among those forced to close for five days or more, 90 percent fail within one year.

Disasters can come in all shapes and sizes. If your business is located in a part of the country that sees tornadoes, frequent flooding, brushfires, or hurricanes, you can’t afford to forego disaster recovery planning.

In fact, cyber thieves often prefer small businesses because they tend to lack the sophisticated encryption and other security safeguards used by big names and multinational corporations. In 2012 alone, cyber-attacks on small businesses jumped by 300 percent.

No matter the size, businesses that fail to prepare for the worst risk of losing money or shutting down. This is why disaster recovery planning is critical.

If your business has a disaster recovery plan, you should consider making a detailed strategy for relocating the business so you can be up and running as quickly as possible following a disaster. This is where co-working can help.

Why You Need an Alternative Work Space

In 2019, Goldman Sachs made headlines after it set up an entire alternative trading floor in a co-working space in London. As a backup location, the second trading floor was designed to mimic the company’s operations as closely as possible, enabling the entire operation to quickly pick up and go in the event of a disaster.

The idea was to sidestep interruptions in everyday business. While smaller companies likely don’t have the resources to completely copy their workspace, business of all sizes can build on the concept pioneered by Goldman Sachs.

For example, having a flexible workspace ready and waiting can give your workers a place to report to when disaster strikes.

Whether it’s a hurricane or a water main break, knowing you can have your team assemble in an alternative space gives you the peace of mind of knowing you can continue working even if your main office is suddenly unavailable.

What Is a Disaster Recovery Plan?

Every business should have a disaster recovery plan. This is a detailed plan that spells out how every critical department in the business will continue operating in the event of some type of disaster. For example, the plan should discuss departments like IT and human resources, as well as sales and accounting. The plan should also address physical space and digital storage.

There are numerous benefits that come with having a disaster recovery plan. In addition to keeping the business up and running, a good disaster recovery plan can safeguard workers’ safety, keep jobs secure, raise the confidence of key stakeholders, maintain corporate compliance, reduce financial hazards, and safeguard the company’s reputation.

What Kind of Disasters Should a Business Consider?

While some types of disasters are easier to predict than others, the very nature of disasters is that they tend to come on without a great deal of warning.

For example, if your business is located in the heart of hurricane territory in Florida, you can assume your area will see its share of hurricanes. However, you can’t predict with any real certainty which hurricane season will produce a Category 5 storm.

This is why businesses should prepare for anything and everything. Possible disasters include:

Flooding

Fires

Hurricanes

Earthquakes

Landslides

Insect or rodent infestation

Extreme heat or cold

Vandalism

Theft

Employee sabotage

Worker strikes

Hacking

Pandemics and other biohazards

Toxic and chemical accidents

Gas leaks

Disruption in utility service

Building structural problems

Computer malfunctions

Various disasters can affect businesses in different ways, but several types of disasters can devastate a company by compromising its physical location. Businesses that set up a co-working space as an alternative location can focus on planning how they will continue operations rather than spending their time frantically searching for a second location when disaster strikes.

Factors to Consider When Preparing Your Disaster Recovery Plan

When preparing your disaster recovery plan, some items to consider include the following.

Identify key personnel – Which employees are critical to keeping the business operational? Ideally, these workers should be the first to move to the co-working space.

Identify critical departments – Every department is important for a business, but some departments play a larger role than others when it comes to staying operational and generating revenue. These departments should have priority when it comes to relocating to your company’s co-working space.

Do a test run – You don’t have to wait for a disaster to happen to see if your disaster recovery plan works. Just as you might perform a fire drill to test your building’s sprinkler system, you can test the effectiveness of your disaster recovery plan by running through emergency scenarios.

Riverdale, NJ — “To provide a healthy and productive indoor air environment, the focus should be put on filtering particles that are 1 μm (micrometer) or smaller in diameter – particles known as PM1 (Particulate Matter 1). Watch this video to learn more about ePM1.” Camfil Clean Air Solutions

What is PM1?

Particulate matter can ravage human health, according to the EPA, with its effects ranging from an irregular heartbeat to premature death. The severity of health effects increases as particulate matter gets smaller. While larger particles are filtered out in the throat, respiratory tract, and by the lungs’ alveoli, the human body cannot completely defend itself against PM1. PM1 is particulate matter smaller than 1-micron in diameter.

With 2020’s ongoing outbreak of COVID-19,high efficiency air filters may be more important than ever to public health. Global air pollution solution experts from Camfil are addressing the pandemic in a variety of ways in order to educate the public about the scientific aspects of the disease, as well as the scientific solutions that can be used to combat it.

Besides the adverse health effects associated with PM1, it can also interrupt production machinery and affect production materials. With the widespread need for ventilators, sanitary equipment, and medicine, efficiency in factories and cleanrooms cannot be compromised.

Additionally, lung tissue damage caused by small particulate matter may put infected individuals at a higher risk of severe adverse consequences from the disease.

The highly communicable novel coronavirus is carried by respiratory droplets that can linger in the air for as long as two hours and can be small enough to be categorized as PM1. However, it’s possible that infected respiratory droplets of any size can enter the body and cause an infection. For more information about reducing exposure to PM1, watch Camfil’s recent video.

With an extended period of time that respiratory droplets can remain airborne, effective air filtration is a must. If respiratory droplets are not removed from the air, the possibility exists that they could be transported elsewhere in the building through the HVAC system.

Guidelines such as social distancing, hand washing, and general hygiene should be followed as these are the primary methods to lower the risk of infection. However, we should all be aware of the risk of contaminated air and educate ourselves on how to lessen that risk with high efficiency air filters. In buildings with shared HVAC systems, we have the opportunity to help protect our neighbors as well.

With many states issuing shelter in place orders in response to COVID-19, thereby forcing business owners to close their shops, many are struggling to stay afloat. In a mad dash to shift marketing strategies and salvage what they can, businesses have found some innovative ways to draw in business while others may need some inspiration. So, if you’re stuck in and need some help figuring out what to do next, read on.

First, take a breath. You’re doing the best you can, all things considered, and you should be very proud of that. We’re proud of you as well. We get that even on good days businesses may not be able to afford to hire a marketing agency and this is definitely not a good day. We may not be able to help you find any Lysol wipes right now, but we’d like to do our part by offering a few marketing tips that you can do yourself while you’re stuck in. After all, we’re in this together.

Redefine Your Target Audience

Our new normal is not the same as it was even a month ago. Once the economy begins reopening, our version of normal will likely once again change. As we reach these milestones in our economy, you’ll want to take look at just who fits the bill of your new target audience to ensure that you’re marketing effectively.

Adapt to the Virtual Environment

Even on the cusp of reopening, nothing will be the same as it was. Many have adapted to a virtual environment out of necessity and may be hesitant to go right back to shops and other crowded places as soon as they’re allowed to reopen. Set your business up for success by maintaining a virtual presence while we figure out what our new normal will look like.

Social Media

In addition to helping you stay relevant, maintaining a presence of social media can help you grow your business and stay in contact with your customers. Wondering what you should be posting? You’re not alone. Use social media as a way of keeping your customers informed of how your business is being affected (Are you open online? Closed? Experiencing delays?), to send messages of positivity and inspiration (a favorite quote, a photo of you/your staff volunteering, etc.) and balance this with your salesy posts.

Content Marketing

Use this time wisely. Why not work on creating some graphics or videos for your company? The biggest reason businesses turn to marketing agencies is a lack of time. Well, COVID-19 has given many the time to get these things done. There are loads of YouTube videos and explainer articles out there on how to create content.

Consider Advertising

Want to reach the wider audience? Consider advertising on social media. Without having a full schedule, many are sat doing the Facebook scroll. Raise their brand awareness by sponsoring an advertisement. You’d be surprised at what $50 can accomplish.

Content Marketing Solutions for Small Businesses

Need for Marketplace Chaplains’ employee care service rises exponentially as the COVID-19 pandemic alters employees’ lives. Marketplace Chaplains, the world’s original, largest and leading workplace chaplaincy provider has just realized its largest growth quarter in its 36-year history.

One hundred ten companies, ranging in size from 3 employees to 16,000, from all around the country have asked Marketplace Chaplains to support their human resource efforts. During a time when everything is upside down, many company owners realize they don’t have the capacity to tend to the emotional needs of their employees. They have called upon Marketplace Chaplains to provide care, compassion and a listening ear, not only to themselves but to their staff.

“Thank you so much for being there for us during this scary, unprecedented time. You guys are shining brighter now, more than ever, for so many who are searching for answers, normalcy and hope,” commented one company leader.

Another director at a facility said, “We cannot say enough about the support that all of our Marketplace Chaplains give us. Even when they cannot be at the branch, they have checked in on us and prayed with us. We are blessed to have you looking out for us!”

Because so many worksites are closed or without access by third parties right now, chaplains have come up with creative ways to care for employees including YouTube messages, homemade signs, cards, e-cards, boxes of donuts, paper flowers, chalk greetings in parking lots, voicemails and more.

A chaplain shared, “Yesterday I visited drive-thru banks, and today I emailed quite a few folks and made a short video of encouragement. One thing I’ve noticed—how truly grateful they all seem! My heart is blessed to see their responses.”

Jackson Israel Montero (born July 21, 2001), known professionally as Lil Ackson is an American Rapper, singer, and songwriter from Harrison, New Jersey. He is best known for his songs “Ups & Downs” & “Respect” featuring MoshDied. His single “Respect” is considered Lil Ackson’s breakout, which garnered even further attention after the rapper was charged with 2 counts of unlawful possession of a weapon. He released his debut album, Songs About You, on March 1, 2019.

In March 2019, he was arrested and charged with two counts of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm and faced 10-15 years in prison.

Montero Attended Harrison High School (New Jersey) in 2014, calling himself “The next Thiago Silva“. He loved to play soccer and played for his high school until his junior year. Senior year came along and he decided to quit and focus on his future.

Montero stated he fell in love at the perfect moment because the situation that led to his heartbreak, made him start creating music. In an interview Montero said “One of my exes is the reason I started making music, she motivated me to do a song and it worked. It was a couple of songs that flopped but I made it work into my success.” Montero also stated that once he had his first real heartbreak, it provoked him to take his rap career seriously.

Career:

2018-20: Early Career and debut project:

Montero adopted his stage name Lil Ackson in 2018. He stated he originally was suppose to go with “JM The Woodz” but decided to change it just a week before he released his first songs.

In 2019, he released the singles “Ups & Downs“, ” Wish U Well“, “Lmao I Made This Song in 20 Minutes“. Other singles include “5212 Slime“.”Misunderstood“.” and “Lonely” . The respective singles have amassed 300 thousand views on SoundCloud, as of January 2020.

Legal issues:

Since 2014, Lil Ackson has been charged with several minor offenses such as Shoplifting and Assault. Many of those charges were later dropped.

On March 25, 2019, Montero and a second defendant were arrested and charged with unlawful possession of weapon in relation to an incident in Harrison, New Jersey. In July 2019, the chargers for Montero were downgraded to No Indictment Found. He took a Plea deal that also allowed him to avoid prison time in exchange for a Probation sentence. Montero has maintained his innocence, claiming it never happened.

SkillSoniq has raised seed funding to bring its recruiting app to a broader range of businesses – Amount remains undisclosed. Investors in this round include successful entrepreneurs, prominent Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors from Amazon, Airbnb and Goldman Sachs. SkillSoniq plans to use funds from this round to expand further in New York, enter new markets and roll out exciting new product features. SkillSoniq is an AI based recruiting marketplace that helps companies hire skilled, local freelancers (also called independent contractors) with the option to convert them into full-time employees. SkillSoniq is uplifting the recruiting space, which it believes is plagued by old school staffing agencies and job portals that simply do not work.

SkillSoniq believes that companies spend too much time and money in hiring people, without knowing how their hire will perform on the job, which leads to more money being wasted in eventually finding a replacement. On the other hand, job-seekers go through an excruciating recruiting process applying for jobs endlessly without ever hearing back. SkillSoniq believes that these problems will get worse and is disrupting the current recruiting process with the use of AI – SkillSoniq enables companies to try the best talent within days on a “Freelance basis” and only sign them up full-time if there is a perfect fit. This reduces their hiring risk and drastically cuts down employee turnover as companies only sign up tested workers full-time. Unlike job portals where companies are flooded with resumes, SkillSoniq’s goal is to provide the least, most accurate matches to a company to cut down their time to fill. Since launch, SkillSoniq has helped companies cut hiring cost by over 60% through its AI based technology. SkillSoniq is also making it easy for skilled job-seekers to source jobs they love without the hassle of applying to thousands of jobs and interviewing for jobs they have a low chance of cracking. In the SkillSoniq world, once a job-seeker is approved on the app, interview and job offers simply come to them in a few days, as opposed to them bidding or applying for jobs.

SkillSoniq estimates its market at $30B a year just in the US, and believes that this market will grow rapidly due to the COVID-19 pandemic as businesses prefer growing and maintaining a lean, flexible workforce with an option to switch the best talent to their payroll. Just last year, freelancers contributed $1 Trillion to the US GDP and the freelance pool is growing three times faster than the traditional workforce in the United States.

SkillSoniq’s founder comments:

SkillSoniq’s Vision is to make hiring as simple as speaking into Amazon Echo or Google Home. As an example, companies will simply say “Alexa, get me a digital marketer” and the perfect digital marketer will pop up in their office in a few minutes. With the use of AI, we are personalizing our marketplace to understand the hiring preferences of companies, and preferences of job-seekers through complex data points and feedback loops. Eventually, companies on SkillSoniq will not even need to conduct interviews because the technology will know their hiring needs so well. SkillSoniq is quick, affordable and convenient. Something that Job Portals, Staffing Agencies and existing Freelance websites are not.

Since launch in the Greater New York region, SkillSoniq has quickly built a database of thousands of local freelancers or contract workers and signed up hundreds of businesses, most of whom are using their web app repeatedly to hire more and more talent. With the world’s workforce moving rapidly towards freelancing (in what is now called Gig economy), SkillSoniq is well positioned to leverage this freelance revolution and use technology to wipe out inefficiencies in the recruitment space. In the SkillSoniq world, companies will be able to build rockstar teams in no time and job-seekers will have jobs come to them, rather than submitting applications with no result.

All businesses have now fully grasped the importance of content creation, and are putting their time and effort into content marketing. With worldwide shelter-in-place orders and quarantines in effect because of the COVID-19 pandemic, people are turning to the internet and social media to fill their time, provide information, and distract them from the situation. But there’s a difference between making content and making engaging content. People are interested in reading content they find interactive, entertaining, and compelling now more than ever. It’s the perfect time to refine your content creation strategy, especially if you, like most businesses, are losing out on regular businesses because of the coronavirus.

Humans are hardwired to respond to the narrative. Storytelling is one of the most effective content marketing strategies, but only when used in the right way. The best way to capture the attention of your target audience is to narrate a story in an engaging way.

Generating content that not just compels your potential customers towards your business, but also maintains their interest requires energy and time. How exactly should you do this? By incorporating the following types of attention-grabbing content:

1. Unique Headlines

This is the first thing your potential clients see, and it, therefore, must be able to instantly motivate them to check out your content but keep in mind that the headline must not be misleading. Your goal should be to steer the audience towards your content and ensure they stay interested till the end, so the headline should act as a preview for the value that your content will provide.

There are several types of headlines that you might like to try::

· Offering a Guarantee – for example, a money-back offer on your product

· Direct Offer – offering a specific discount on your product

· Testimonial – a short quote from a customer expressing how they feel; “I love this product!”

· Explanatory – how your product helps with specific issues

· News style – a story told about your product helped someone in a certain way

· How-to – a guide to using your product and enjoying the benefits

Remember, the headline can be short or long, and should tell the reader what exactly they will find in the content. Don’t be afraid to make your content more readable by dividing the article into subheadings, shorter paragraphs, and bulleted lists to maintain your audience’s attention.

2. Images and Videos

People love content that includes images and videos. These formats can make your content more interactive, so the audience is more likely to stay interested until the end.

Again, be sure that the videos and images are not misleading, and are relevant to your brand and the content shared with them.

Additionally, when you are using a video, be sure to keep it short and loaded with valuable and easily-explained information. A tutorial, for instance, is packed with value and a great way of keeping the audience engaged until the end.

How to create images and videos during COVID-19?

Make use of photo-editing platforms such as Canva, Adobe Sparks, and the like, and create images that are highly relevant to the current situation. For videos, you can conduct an online interview, live video, or conference how the current situation has affected your business and consumers.

3. Infographics

Adding infographics to your website is a surefire way of ensuring your target audience pauses to look at your content. Visual content is always more appealing than written content.

Using charts, graphs, and other illustrations as infographics make it easy for the reader to understand the content in a short period of time, an essential factor considering the average attention span of consumers on social media is somewhere from eight to twelve seconds. Especially during the coronavirus situation, be sure that you aren’t spreading false information or causing unnecessary panic.

Why are Infographics relevant during COVID-19 coronavirus times?

Infographics help the majority of people to easily understand data and statistics. The majority of the population are not fond of reading, thus, putting crucial information about the current pandemic into an infographic helps to effectively relay essential information that can help save lives.

4. Checklists

Checklists add value for your target audience because they can print them out and use them. If your prospects are printing out and using a piece of content with your logo on it, they aren’t likely to forget you any time soon. This type of content is not difficult to create or promote. Add step-by-step points to complete an action, which users can easily follow and check off each task as they complete it.

Your target audience will appreciate a checklist as it will make a task seem easier to them. For instance, if you are in the fitness business, you can create a checklist for morning stretches. Add small illustrations, some color, and a nice font to make it visually appealing.

The best thing about checklists is that they can also be added to other types of content. You can include them in your monthly newsletter, a blog post, or social media post, or use them as free printables.

5. EBooks

Ebooks are another way of providing valuable information to your target audience. It’s best not to ask for anything in return (like an email address) but give the resource away at no cost.

Everyone loves something free, especially if it offers them value. Offering a free eBook is a great way of generating more traffic on your website and landing pages. Informative pieces are good, but the best e-books will contain how-to’s, lists, and tutorials so that the reader has been given something useful.

Here are some examples of ebooks that SEO and marketing companies can help their clients with:

6. Case Studies

There are numerous businesses that include case studies as a part of their content marketing strategy. Many of these are irrelevant and boring, but there are others that are so gripping that you can’t help but read all the way till the end.

The art of storytelling plays a major role in this type of content. To make this work for you, it is essential that you find a situation that is relevant to your target audience. Make it informative by describing the steps taken to resolve the issue, and how the outcome benefitted the client.

The case study you incorporate must offer insights and solutions to the problems mostly faced by your target audience. This demonstrates your resourcefulness and will establish your authority as a leader in your niche that your target audience can trust.

Here are some examples of case studies that are relevant to qualitative research and how it should apply to coronavirus:

7. Social Media Posts

You already know the significant role that social media platforms play in promoting and marketing your business. Whether you have a small business or own a major organization, social media can do wonders for your reputation and brand awareness. Making prospects aware of your company’s value is especially important so that when they’re in a position to buy, they’ll remember you.

This is especially true when you create engaging and valuable social media posts on major platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. This will enable your business to attract your target audience and maintain a good relationship with both your existing and potential customers.

Here are the best examples of social media posts for your business:

Law firm

Doctor

Massage therapist

Dentist

Plumbing company

Roofer

The way you utilize these posts for content marketing depends on the goals of your company. Whether you want to launch a new product, influence your target audience, alert them about upcoming promotions and sales, this is the fastest and most efficient means of reaching out to them. A consistent online presence may be the key to pulling through to the other side of the economic crisis caused by COVID-19.

Many businesses are already reaping the benefits of using these types of content in their content marketing strategy. You can utilize any or all of these seven content types in your marketing plan, depending on your goals and objectives. These can even be used to promote one another. For instance, announce the free eBook to your target audience through your social media posts or share your case study in the form of infographics.

Just make sure that the type of content you use is relevant to your business and offers real value to your target audience. This is the only way you can actually enjoy the benefits of using the attention-grabbing content and leave your target audience wanting more.

Both you and your audience will benefit from COVID-19 related content if you have something valuable to say, but avoid overdoing it. Don’t stretch for ways to relate your business to a health crisis. You don’t want to seem like you’re capitalizing on a tragic situation. Instead, try providing ideas for how your audience can constructively spend their quarantine time or ideas on how they can safely help their communities. Remember, during the coronavirus pandemic, something lighthearted and distracting is valuable to the many people out there who are looking for something else to think about.

Chicago-based, 87-year-old presentation packaging company, Petra & Holum, answers the call to retool its manufacturing production to provide much needed protective face masks and face shields to first responders battling the COVID-19 pandemic including hospitals and police departments throughout the Midwest.

Born during the Great Depression and having overcome many obstacles over its 87-year history, Petra & Holum, has powerfully reacted to today’s most threatening challenge. As the pandemic started shutting down businesses around Chicago and the entire country, management immediately began to examine if there was a possibility to utilize its manufacturing capabilities to make a difference and be of service to communities both local and national.

Norman Hoffberg and Richard Holum, Co-Presidents, along with Michael Quintos, Vice President Marketing, quickly analyzed the situation and decided their sewing, printing and assembly capabilities would be the areas that could transition fastest and immediately manufacture PPE. Within 7 days, a variety of sewn face masks and assembled face shields were designed and then immediately put into production.

“It is our responsibility to reposition and act as quickly as possible to provide products to protect those people risking their lives serving all of us in these difficult times,” said Co-President Norman Hoffberg. “Additionally, we are able to focus the special skills our employees possess to provide this quantity of product in a short amount of time. We are very proud of their individual efforts.”

Michael Quintos, Vice President of Marketing added, “Healthcare personnel, police and fire workers everywhere are working tirelessly to protect our communities and we are committed to provide them with PPE. We’re proud to be part of this grassroots effort finding solutions to close the critical PPE gap. This should be a wake-up call to government and health care decision makers to insure a domestic supply of these critical products.”

Once a course of action was determined the company converted its sewing and assembly custom and specialized packaging to personal protection equipment. Because of relationships with suppliers, some for decades, the company was able to keep the flow of raw materials enabling a rapid response to the immediate need.

Petra & Holum, historically a contract manufacturer, has also been providing components to other medical and healthcare product manufacturers. This includes supplying materials for medical bedding manufacturers, nuclear medical manufacturers and much-needed components for other manufacturers to allow them to contribute their own production to meet the challenges facing the country today.

Barbara Young Medical Billing Services in Staten Island, NY has announced that physician’s lives and safety are more important than being paid during the Coronavirus pandemic. The medical billing company will not charge any late fees and will defer payments from clients so that the frontline workers can take care of themselves and their families first during the crisis. We wanted to be able to thank our healthcare clients for their service and give them one less thing to worry about during the national health emergency that has New York City at the epicenter of COVID-19. The business has stayed open working full-time remotely to be able to assist medical providers with all of the newly needed Coronavirus and TeleHealth billing updates.

Planning your event in this new era is a challenge. Due to the need for Social Distancing, new laws may require that less than 50 guests attend a gathering at one time. So it’s time to rethink and re-plan weddings, celebrations, and galas. In the year 2020, it is not business as usual, it is time to stop, reset, and reinvent.

The event venue industry is not something that opens their doors from one day to the next. Couples planning their wedding, people coordinating galas and fundraiser plan many months in advance. Concerts and Operas need to plan their 2021 Seasons. We are currently taking reservations/bookings for the Fall and Winter months offering our “Hybrid” services with the understanding that we will refund or schedule depending on the restrictions on the date of the event.

In the Northern California East Bay, the Berkeley Hillside Club is now offering “Hybrid Events”, combining the Virtual and Actual. By including Virtual programming, a wedding or gala can now have 50 physical guests and many more joining in on line—and from far away. Guests who are not able to travel or attend can now be a part of the celebration. Tables and chairs for 50 or fewer guests can be provided in the Berkeley Hillside Club’s charming environment with virtual on-line attendees shown on a large screen or on table monitors.

Established in the late 1800’s, this historic club was created to preserve arts and culture. Until today it has been serving it’s mission statement by offering concerts, operas, dances, and other art-related events. The COVID19 made this club come to a grinding halt.

Now, by combining this traditional business model and joining with software programs such as Zoom and REMO, the Hillside Club is tailoring experiences to fit an event’s needs. Its management can create celebratory packages, including private label champagne to send to out of town guests so that everyone can enjoy vital hospitality together.

Those hosting celebrations may find financial benefits to “Hybrid Events”,:

A controlled number of guests to calculate catering cost: A smaller party means less

overhead cost in catering, alcohol, place setting rentals.

Less travel expense for out of town guests.

The pleasure of having out of town and older family members be a part of

their event who would otherwise not be present.

Shrinking the carbon footprint with more people attending with less travel.

The Berkeley Hillside Club is currently booking events as well as having staff that would be pleased to meet and consult with hosts of other venues to plan for “Hybrid Events”, entering a new era for celebrating important events in actual and virtual setting.

Cleaning and janitorial companies are trained for proper cleaning that avoids cross-contamination and reduces the spread of disease and germs. This specialized training is above what a layperson at a business or homeowner may have. Nonetheless, during flu-season, and/or times of increased threat, such as the COVID-19 virus exposure we are now facing, additional steps are being taken to ensure everyone’s safety. How is this being done?

Staying Knowledgeable

Keeping abreast of developments, best practices, and the Center for Disease Control mandates and recommendations allows cleaning companies to evaluate and improve their practices. During high-crisis times, this may change daily. Daily operations may adjust to best meet these requirements.

Success All Along

Wiping down common areas and high-touch surfaces have always been a priority of cleaning crews, but now workers are doing it more often, between cleaning. Professional cleaning companies use disinfectants already and apply them in the correct concentration and allow them to sit untouched for the recommended time by the product manufacturers, ensuring their effectiveness.

Improved Measures

Many organizations and individuals are being more diligent in their hygiene practices during this time. Being extra cautious helps everyone to stay safe and healthy. Organizations that don’t use professional cleaning services may now better understand the value and importance of such workers and may be looking to increase the frequency of visits during this time. Canceling services is counterproductive. Professional cleaning staff will take extra care to disinfect reception areas, phones, elevator buttons, railings, and doorknobs/handles during visits.

Avoiding Contamination

All cleaning tools used and brought onsite will be wiped down with disinfectant wipes prior to arrival to avoid cross-contamination. All staff, whether organization workers, or outside vendors such as cleaning staff, should avoid reporting to work if they have had a fever or flu symptoms in the last 24 hours, and after they have tested negative for COVID-19, if suspected.

Anyone who may have been exposed to the virus should self-quarantine and not return to work until they are cleared to do so by a medical professional. Please don’t allow the cleaning staff to come into your home if you are quarantined in order for our workers to stay safe and healthy as well.

Together, we can all take action to minimize the impact of this global threat.

Moving has quite a bit of parts to it and not all moves are created equal. Sometimes our customers just want help packing, other times they want us to pack and transport their entire home or office.

Road Scholars offers an array of moving services, even now, during these unprecedented times, we’re working at full capacity to help get you moved safely. Today we’re going to give you some help on determining the smartest moving options for you and your next move.

The Moving Truck

If you’re trying to decide whether to rent your own moving truck, here are some things to keep in mind:

The best truck for the job: Be sure you find a truck that will support your move, keeping in mind the distance of your move and the amount of items you’re moving. And be sure you find out how the price for the truck is determined before you commit. Ask if there are additional charges for using moving accessories on the truck.

Truck loading capabilities: You want to be sure to implement rhyme and reason into your truck loading strategy. Load the heaviest items in the back of the truck, closest to the cab, furniture and heavy moving boxes in the middle, with lighter furniture on either side, and smaller items should be put in the truck last, but can also be placed in open spaces throughout. Keep small valuables, such as jewelry, with you if possible.

Truck driving capabilities: This is no small task, as it’s very different from driving your usual vehicle. Be sure to drive slowly and cautiously to keep you, other drivers, and your belongings safe. If you’re moving long-distance, avoid driving while tired or stressed. Be sure to find out if your usual car insurance will cover your moving truck rental, if not, ask the company you’re renting from what your options are.

The Moving Workforce

Whether you’ve decided to rent your own moving truck or not, you may still be in need of moving help when it comes to loading up the truck or packing up your stuff. Maybe you’ve enlisted the help of friends, maybe you’d prefer to hire moving professionals. Keep in mind that full-service moving companies have the knowledge, skill, equipment, and materials for your residential or office move. Here’s what to consider:

Packing up your items: This task is a tall order, it does require a bit of know-how to ensure safety and efficiency, especially if you’re moving long-distance. Hiring a moving company can come in really handy here, they know how to pack the right way and they do it quickly, allowing you to keep your focus elsewhere.

Loading/unloading your items: Once your items are securely packed, loading them into your moving truck can be a challenge. A team of moving professionals can get all of your items on the truck in the smartest and safest possible way, making your move run smoother. When removing your belongings from the truck, skilled movers will be able to quickly get your items into your new space with precision.

Transporting your items: No need to worry about renting or driving a moving truck when you hire professional movers. They usually have their own fleet of well-maintained trucks and the team knows how to drive your belongings safely, locally or long-distance.

The Takeaway

Having a successful move is the goal and if you can handle parts of it on your own, go for it. However, if you’d prefer to leave it to the pros, you will not only have more time for other projects, you’ll have confidence in knowing the job is being done exactly how it should be.

If you have an upcoming move during COVID-19, we are open and operational and can answer any of your questions.

Road Scholars are true scholars when it comes to all things moving. Our movers are all background checked and are given the proper education to handle your most important possessions. From lifting techniques, to packing excellence, to details on how to successfully get through a challenging move, we give our movers all the insights they need to work at their fullest capability.

With stay at home orders in place across the globe Alcohol sales have increased dramatically. Along with that so have the sales of one company selling ‘Fake’ Alcohol. ArKay Beverages, has been making Fake Alcohol since 2011, is seeing a significant rise in sales.

The US based company said “After a run of a few days early on with very little activity our site exploded with sales registering a sale almost every minute.” Said Reynald Grattagliano the inventor and VP of the Fake Liquor company.

“We make Alcohol Alternatives. Do you like Vodka? Tequila? Rums or Whiskeys? We have alternatives for everything you can imagine.” When asked what was spurring the sales of his Fake alcohol he said “I can only imagine it is due to people being quarantined. When we are alone, we take time to listen to ourselves, our bodies. Alcohol is damaging to the body but when we are constantly running around, we don’t take the time to listen. During quiet and scary times like these it becomes our responsibility to listen to ourselves.”

With the growth of mindfulness and sober curious culture, these uncomfortable times of quarantine could actually make for a population of a more in touch citizenry. Having the option to skip the booze, and not have to be forced to drink sugar, (yet another drug) ArKay is giving people the opportunity to live more self-aware lives.

We’ve had fake meats on the market for many years and today ArKay is offering a great option for those who would like to stop drinking or curtail their drinking during this time. Fake alcohol is not a gimmick it’s an option, like the beyond burger ArKay is going Beyond Spirits.

The impact of the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic has been severe in so many ways. Businesses are scrambling to find ways to stay afloat. Attorneys and law firms are struggling to understand what to do with their paid ads now, and when we return to whatever our new normal will be. What practice areas will be affected, where they will be affected most. It’s an uncertain time.

Enter Google. In late March, Google announced they would be giving away $340 million in Google Ad credits to eligible small and medium sized businesses (SMBs). Read on to find out what exactly that means for your law firm and whether you’re eligible.

Clients of Precision Legal Marketing can rest assured that we have already identified those who are eligible for this ad credit and will pass along any information, as it becomes available.

Is My Law Firm Eligible for the Google Ad Credits?

That depends. Google has set forth a list of criteria your law firm must meet in order to be eligible for the free Google Ad credit. Let’s take a look at what the eligibility criteria is:

Be a small or mid-sized business AND

Spent on Google Ads

o 10 out of the last 12 months in 2019 AND

o In January and/or February of this year

What does this mean? If you did not spend money advertising with Google Ads during 2020, then you are not eligible. If you only advertised 6 months or even up to 9 months, you are not eligible. It also means that accounts created in 2020 are not eligible. This takes puts controls in place to prevent people from taking advantage of the system and rewards loyal advertisers utilizing Google Ads.

Will My Law Firm Still Be Eligible for Google Ad Credit if My Ads are Managed by an Agency?

Yes. For those law firms that have their advertising through Google Ads managed by an agency (such as Precision Legal Marketing), have no fear. You will still receive the Google Ad credit (if eligible) as the credit is distributed per eligible account and not at the agency/manager level.

How Much Google Ad Credit are We Going to Get?

Every eligible SMB advertiser will receive ONE ad credit. Google has not any calculations on a specific amount each business will get, but rather has explained that the amount will be determined based on historic Google Ad spend levels, country and currency. This authors opinion is that you may receive up to a month’s worth of spend credit. The other scenario I can imagine is a cash credit into your account followed by a match. Whatever it ends up being, they will not deposit a cash credit which would allow marketers to increase their spend and disrupt the search market, system algorithms and other un-fair advantages.

What Can I Use the Google Ad Credit For?

It is important to note that this Google Ad credit cannot
be applied to past spends, only future Ad spends. With that being said, you may be wondering what specifically you can use your Google Ad credit for. According to Google, advertisers are able to use the Google Ad credit towards anything on the Google Ads platform, including Search, Display and YouTube. This will be a terrific opportunity to try new google products like YouTube advertising.

When Will My Law Firm Receive the Google Ad Credit?

Ad credits will be issued to eligible businesses on a rolling basis beginning in May. The credit will be applied to their accounts and the business will receive a notification regarding the credit. Keep in mind that the Google Ad credit does have an expiration date of December and if not used by that date, the credit will be revoked.

New York City, NY — Cervical cancer, which occurs in a woman’s cervix, is treatable if it’s detected in an early stage. The cervix is the lowest part of the uterus, made up of strong muscles, with a narrow opening into the vaginal canal. When doctors fail to conduct screenings, or when they mistake cervical cancer for a different health problem, women can experience a more aggressive form and even lose their lives.

“One of the things that make diagnosing cervical cancer difficult is that it usually doesn’t produce any symptoms,” explains medical malpractice attorney Jonathan C. Reiter, whose team in New York City has recovered over $250 million in damages for clients. “A woman can have precancerous cells in her cervix without suffering any negative health effects.”

Typically, the only way for doctors to detect these cells is by performing a pap smear. Most health experts recommend that women receive a pap smear once a year, although some experts say women can opt for testing every three years if they have a history of normal pap smears.

According to the American Cancer Society, there are over 13,000 cases of cervical cancer in the United States each year. Annually, around 4,250 women die due to cervical cancer.

Studies have shown that 4 out of 10 pap smears can return a false negative even when pre-cancerous or cancerous cells are present in the cervix.

This is why it’s important for doctors to perform additional testing in patients who are at a higher risk of developing cervical cancer, as well as patients who have pre-cancerous cells in their cervix.

In some cases, doctors may even misinterpret the results of a pap smear, believing the test has cleared a patient when there are actually pre-cancerous or cancerous cells present. This can cause a patient to go without potentially life-saving treatment.

If your cervical cancer was misdiagnosed, or you suffered a delay in diagnosis of your cervical cancer due to a doctor’s negligence, you may qualify to receive compensation for your damages.

These damages can include money for your pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, out of pocket expenses, future medical costs, and more. You deserve to receive compensation for your losses, and you shouldn’t have to pay for a doctor’s mistake. Discuss your case with a New York City medical malpractice lawyer as soon as possible.

Friday, April 17th – Independent recording artist and producer Klassikal has released his latest single, “Complicated”.

The release follows a string of successful singles from the rising artist/producer. Just over a week ago, Klassikal offered a sneak-peek at “Complicated”, releasing the cover art and a snippet in the midst of the COVID-19 shutdown. The 17-year-old has been making use of his time, creating music in isolation at home.

“Complicated”
succeeds a slew of one-off singles released early this year, however, this track is unlike the rest of his discography. Klassikal ventures into the RnB/Soul genre for the first time and unveils his dexterity as an artist. According to Klassikal: “I think that this is my favourite track thus far. It’s different from everything else I’ve done, but it’s the beginning of my next chapter as a recording artist.”

The Vancouver-born artist Luka Roberts, better known as Klassikal, first entered the hip hop scene at the age of 15, making beats and gaining production placements with artists such as iiiso. After making practice-tracks of himself, honing his audio engineering skills, Klassikal discovered his artistic voice shortly before his 17th birthday in 2019, and he released his debut single “Otherworld”. Releasing one single every month, Klassikal steadily grew his fanbase—which continues to grow exponentially. Now, in Grade 12, Klassikal looks forward to committing more time to his craft and holds great ambition for his future. Continuing to produce for other artists, mixing, mastering, as well as designing album covers (including the “Complicated” cover), Klassikal has immersed himself in the musical world and demonstrates great potential—quickly becoming a burgeoning sound in Vancouver’s rising hip hop scene.

Some industries have special packaging, crating and shipping requirements. Medical equipment shipping is a good example. From large imaging systems to sensitive devices to supplies, medical shipping logistics requires special expertise. This includes understanding how to prepare many different types of medical assets for transport, such as:

MRI machines

CT scanners

Surgical devices

Lasers

Computers and peripherals

Lab equipment

X-ray machines

Hospital beds, treatment tables and other furniture

Medication

Miscellaneous medical supplies

These items are often oversized or heavy. They may also be fragile, and contain components like gauges, lenses or mirrors. In the case of medicines and supplies, they can have unique requirements for their shipping or storage.

Proven Steps for Shipping Medical Equipment

In order to ensure your medical equipment and supplies arrive on time and undamaged, you should do the following:

Plan ahead. The more time you devote to carefully considering the shipping of medical equipment or supplies, the better. Of course, in some cases this can be a challenge. For example, in a scenario where the need for equipment and supplies is especially urgent, like FEMA shipping related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, you might not have as much time for planning as you would like. In that case, working with medical freight experts is critical.

Address any environmental considerations or requirements. Will a piece of sensitive medical equipment be shipped to and stored in a location with high humidity? If so, you may need to protect the item from moisture damage. Or, do the medical supplies you are sending need to be held at a constant cool temperature? If so, you will need refrigerated transport.

Identify any hazardous materials. If any of the items you are shipping contain materials that are explosive, toxic, radioactive or otherwise dangerous, it is important that you talk with your shipping provider about that. It doesn’t mean the items can’t be shipped but, rather, special “hazmat” precautions may have to be taken to ensure safe transport.

Use tailored packaging. To protect valuable medical equipment and supplies, you need to ensure they are packaged and crated in a way that provides maximum protection. Whether you handle this task or leave it to your logistics provider, simply putting items into a crate or corrugated cardboard box and surrounding them with a little packing material is not enough. You have to be strategic in your shipping preparation, including the use of custom blocking and bracing designed by packaging engineers.

Consider disassembling items if necessary. In some cases, protecting the sensitive or fragile internal workings of a piece of medical equipment may require you to partially or fully disassemble it. While that may take some time and effort, the payoff is a successful, damage-free shipment.

Insure and track your items. Medical equipment and supplies tend to be expensive. Consequently, it’s important to properly insure them and entrust them to a logistics provider that can carefully track them from pickup to delivery.

Take special care with overseas shipments. International shipping poses unique challenges, including customs paperwork, ISPM 15 heat-treated and stamped crates and others. Learning about those requirements or working with a shipping service that has experience with them is essential. If your shipment will involve ocean freight, vapor-barrier bagging, vacuum moisture removal, activated desiccants and other measures may be required to adequately protect your assets.

Allow time for installation. For some medical devices and machines, there may be a significant amount of setup required of your team before they can be used. Be sure to factor in that time as you are scheduling the use of the item.

Consider reusable packaging. For items that will be shipped regularly, having a reusable custom crate built can maximize protection of the asset during transport and also save you money. Tailored crates can have hardware like link locks, hinges and locking hasps that ensure they close securely and can be opened easily without tools. A crate can also have labels, stenciling or logos applied that clearly identify your company as the owner.

Why Proper Medical Equipment Shipping Is Crucial

No organization wants to have its assets lost or damaged during shipping. For medical equipment manufacturers, hospitals and others in the industry, the stakes are especially high. Not only do you need to protect your investment, there are patients whose successful diagnosis and treatment may rely on the machines, devices and supplies you are shipping.

Delays or damage to an asset could have a direct effect on patients. Consequently, you need to go the extra mile to ensure your items reach their destination in excellent condition and in a timely manner.

The first step in shipping large medical equipment, smaller devices, medication or supplies is understanding your options. Please contact the Craters & Freighters location near you at your convenience to learn more about our expert packaging, crating and shipping services.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people have questions about the nature of the virus, how it spreads, and what can be done to prevent it from spreading so rapidly. While handwashing, social distancing, and good hygiene are all essential, there are other angles to look at, too.

Air filtration experts from Camfil Clean Air have added a virus filtration FAQ section to their website, with each of the twelve commonly asked questions explained in depth in both video and text form.

Being educated is one of the best weapons against the spread of the pandemic. Read on for the answers to twelve frequently asked questions about virus filtration during the COVID-2019 pandemic, according to air filtration experts.

12 Questions and Answers about COVID-19 and air filtration

Q: Is COVID-19 spread primarily by air?

A: Long distance airborne transmission is not the primary method of communication. Instead, the disease is primarily spread by respiratory droplets that come from coughs, sneezes, and other fluids expelled by infected individuals.

Q: Can respiratory viruses spread by air?

A: Yes. Droplets infected with a respiratory virus, including COVID-19 and influenza, as described above, can remain airborne for varying amounts of time, depending on their size. They can later be inhaled or picked up after settling on surfaces.

Q: Is there something I can do to quickly mitigate the airborne spread of COVID-19 in my building?

A: Use 100% supply air if you are recycling air to save money on energy. Fresh air dilutes the concentration of viruses in the air created by recirculation and helps reduce the spread of viruses through a building.

Q: Are air filters effective in capturing airborne illnesses?

A: It depends on the efficiency of the air filter. ePM1 filters are most effective in removing infected droplets from the air because they capture particulate matter larger than 1 micrometer. Find out more about ePM1 here.

Q: Are ePM2.5 and ePM10 filters good enough to capture viruses?

A: No. These filters are not built to effectively filter out the smallest particles in the air, which is necessary to see a significant reduction in infected droplets.

Q: Should I upgrade my filters during the outbreak?

A: It depends on what filters you already have in place and whether or not your existing ventilation system will be able to handle higher grade filters.

Q: Can captured viruses be released from the filter back into the airstream?

A: Current research indicates COVID-19 viruses can remain active for a few days under ideal circumstances. When viruses are captured by a filter, they become strongly bound to the fibers within the filter media, dry out and die within a few days.

A: If you’ve already turned off circulation, you can further improve air quality with the addition of air cleaners and purifiers. Air purifiers and cleaners allow you to apply a significantly higher filtration efficiency to places where it would not otherwise be possible.

Q: How should used air filters be treated?

A: It’s unlikely that viruses will survive inside the air filter until it’s changed, but you should always use good hygienic protocol when changing air filters. This includes long sleeves and pants, disposable gloves, respiratory mask, and eye protection. Seal the used filters inside a bag before moving it.

Q: Is it a good idea to change my filters during the outbreak?

A: Stick to your regular maintenance schedule. If this requires that you change your filters during the pandemic, then do not delay the planned filter change.

Q: Does dual-stage air filtration provide more protection than single-stage?

A: No. Efficiency depends on the filter class of the stages, so dual-stage air filtration isn’t necessarily more effective.

Stockholm, Sweden: Yanzi Networks, a global leader in IoT device management technology, today announced the launch of a new dashboard and analytics offering tagged Yanzi Insights. Building on its robust set of lifecycle management tools, Insights will provide in-depth understanding of data coming out of smart building devices along with providing actionable recommendations for occupancy, space utilization, and indoor environments. One of the biggest challenges encountered when implementing smart building solutions is the configuration and integration required to get everything up and running. In many cases, this can involve multiple suppliers, months of planning and unforeseen costs that exceed budgets. “Insights requires no custom configuration and can be turned on within minutes making your path to more informed decisions virtually instantaneous,” cites Stefan Sandhagen, Chief Product Officer at Yanzi.

By combining and analyzing real-time and historic data around how occupants are interacting with their built environment, users are able to detect trends that can be acted on. The tool will even provide automated optimization guidance and calculate the potential revenue impact of such changes. Further, the monitoring of indoor environmental factors will help determine where improvements need to be made to support maximum productivity while correlating this with where people are spending time.

As we have become all too aware in recent weeks, Covid-19 will have a lasting impact on work patterns in many ways. As restrictions are gradually lifted, social distancing guidelines are likely to stay in place for some time to come. This, coupled with the cost-cutting pressure of a global economic downturn, will spotlight how crucial it is to understand things like what spaces are being used most frequently, if social distancing measures are being followed and where real estate footprints can be reduced. At the same time, this pandemic also highlights the need for increased attention to wellness and how indoor environments can significantly impact occupants’ health. Offices, with their population density, are especially vulnerable to spreading diseases. Elements such as air circulation, humidity and temperature will impact the amount of microorganisms moving through the system so being able to monitor these factors on an ongoing basis will assure tenants the building is safe and compliant with standards like RESET® and Fitwel.

“Our goal in releasing Insights right now is to provide critical information that can drive better decisions and actions in the era of Covid-19. Building owners and managers are going to be in the very challenging position of implementing cost-saving measures while doing everything they can to ensure the health and well-being of their tenants. Data and analytics will be the essential foundation for this and what Insights is designed for,” said Jennifer Nye, VP of Business Development and Customer Success.

Let us fight against COVID-19 together and stand united as one. Practice Physical Distancing, Unite Socially, Be Safe and Keep others Around you Safe ! Big thanks to #KISSPR for making this Press Release available free of charge.

The new legislation regarding E-bikes does little to clarify whether people seriously injured by E-bikes will be able to receive adequate compensation because it classifies most if not all E-bikes as bicycles, not motor vehicles, and accordingly, mandatory motor vehicle liability insurance will not be applicable.

Can I recover damages if I am hit by an E-bike?

New York City – On January 3, 2020, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced legislation in the Fiscal Year 2021 Executive Budget to establish comprehensive safety measures for the use of lower speed motorized bicycles, or e-bikes, and scooters and to give local governments the right to set additional regulations. This legislation addresses the perceived concern that e-bike and scooter users, primarily delivery drivers, have been subject to unfair restrictions on these bicycles while ensuring strong statewide measures for the safety of riders, pedestrians and drivers.

Read my article on E-bike and E-Scooter Injuries in New York City here.

One group of people likely to benefit from this legislation is restaurant delivery drivers who utilize E-bikes. Meal delivery “apps” are an increasingly popular way to get food, especially during the current restrictions due to coronavirus. When you order from Grubhub, UberEATS, Doordash, Postmates, Caviar, Seamless or other meal delivery services, one of their drivers picks up and delivers your order. Typically, these drivers are not employees of either the restaurants or the meal delivery app company, and are considered to be “independent contractors”. These delivery drivers are seldom, if ever, able to afford liability insurance on their own, even if it were available. Some of the delivery app companies provide liability insurance for their drivers, but many do not. For example, UberEATS provides liability insurance for its drivers under certain circumstances, while Grubhub does not.

Many New Yorkers have expressed concern that these delivery drivers do not conscientiously observe traffic regulations, are frequently going down streets in the wrong direction and pose a significant hazard to pedestrians who can get blindsided by these E-bikes.

When a pedestrian is struck and seriously injured by a delivery person on an E-bike, it is not certain that there will be a financially responsible person or entity to provide compensation, and to some degree, it is a matter of luck as to what “app” the person is delivering for. The new legislation regarding E-bikes does little or nothing to clarify this situation because it classifies most if not all E-bikes as bicycles, not motor vehicles, and accordingly, motor vehicle insurance will not be applicable.

If you are a pedestrian who is struck and seriously injured by a delivery person on an E-bike, it is a good idea to consult with an NYC pedestrian accident attorney who can advise you of your legal rights and determine whether and to what extent you can recover monetary compensation for your injuries.

When a person is involved in an accident due to the negligence of another, it is the injured party’s right to seek compensation. However, what if the injured party has a pre-existing condition that they’ve had prior to the occurrence?

Today we’ll tell you how you should handle your personal injury claim when you have a pre-existing condition.

Your Claim

When you are harmed due to no fault of your own, you should seek legal guidance from a personal injury attorney. This is true even if you have a pre-existing condition. Yes, this situation is a bit more complex, but that’s even more reason to seek out experienced guidance on how to proceed.

You are always entitled to file a claim for injuries caused by an accident, so even if you already had a condition and symptoms, if your symptoms have worsened or if the accident made your symptoms reappear, you are within your rights to file a claim.

Your Process

Upon seeking a personal injury lawyer to help with your claim, you will need to decipher the symptoms that are a direct result of the accident. Your attorney will have a medico-legal expert create a report that entails your conditions before and after the accident took place.

Medico-legal experts are completely independent and unbiased. They evaluate a patient’s claim, injuries, medical history, and treatment plans. Their results will give a fact-based report of the patient’s injuries and the cause(s). Your medico-legal expert can ask for tests, scans, or other investigatory evidence to help them determine the injured party’s full condition prior to and after the accident.

Note that if your pre-existing injuries become more severe as a cause of the accident, the at-fault party will be liable for the injury caused. This is based on the “eggshell skull” rule, which essentially states that a person’s frailty cannot be used against them.

The Takeaway

Don’t wrestle with whether to see a personal injury attorney for your injuries caused by another, even if you have a pre-existing condition. You may be eligible for compensation and your experienced lawyer can help.

His Answer to this question “Who Is An Entrepreneur?” is:

An entrepreneur is someone who has made a conscious decision to choose freedom. This freedom doesn’t come easy because being an entrepreneur isn’t easy, but it will change your life in every way. Many of us spend years of our lives building someone else’s dream and following someone else’s rules. As entrepreneurs, we get to choose to work on the things that light us up, that motivate us, and that make a big impact for those around us. As entrepreneurs, we get to spend time with our family when we choose to, go on vacation when we choose to and surround ourselves with the people we choose to.

An entrepreneur is a starter. An entrepreneur is an initiator, a challenger and a driver. Someone that creates something new, either an initiative, a business or a company. He or she is the beginning (and sometimes the end) of a venture, project or activity. The entrepreneur might not be the ideator, but he or she is definitely the one that decides to make that idea a reality.

An entrepreneur is the driver. The entrepreneur is the person in charge, the leader and the person to look to for leadership. He or she is the one that pushes forward and inspires a team to follow. The entrepreneur is the one that sits in the driver’s seat, and has the ability to change direction, accelerate, slow down or even stop a venture.

An entrepreneur is accountable and responsible. The entrepreneur is the ultimate responsible for the destiny of its venture, which can be a company, a project, or any other endeavor. The entrepreneur is the one that has the highest stakes at the venture, thus the one that needs to be empowered to fully direct the endeavor.

Riverdale, NJ — For the most part, everyone is stuck indoors as we all practice social distancing to keep ourselves safe and combat the spread of COVID-19.

You might be tempted to think that staying indoors means you’re safe from air pollution, but research shows that this is far from the case. Air pollution can occur indoors, too, and has been linked to occurrences of headaches, dizziness, and fatigue, according to the EPA. The World Health Organization calls this “sick building syndrome.”

In the U.S., we already collectively spend around 90% of our time indoors. With these numbers increasing as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, managing indoor air pollution is even more important.

Where does indoor pollution come from?

Outside sources, such as wildfires inversions, or major roads and freeways.

Poorly designed and energy inefficient buildings that trap pollutants inside.

What are the effects of poor indoor air quality (IAQ)?

Poor indoor air quality can lead to a variety of negative health consequences, but research has shown a link between poor IAQ and cognitive function. Lower air quality increases the risk of:

Reduced productivity and more sick days in the workplace.

Lower test scores and attendance rates in schools.

Difficulty making decisions.

Decline in alertness.

Decreased critical thinking abilities.

Overall lower well-being.

How to Combat Indoor Air Pollution During the Coronavirus Pandemic

As we stay indoors and take precautions to avoid coming into contact with COVID-19, keeping our minds and bodies safe is important. Good lung health is essential for our bodies to be able to fight the virus if we do contract it.

If you are concerned about the air quality in your workplace, consider installing both a high efficiency particulate air filter and a molecular filter in your system. Look for experienced air filter manufacturers specializing in commercial applications to get the best results.

“Studies show that good indoor air quality has a positive effect on people’s productivity,” explains Mark Davidson, Manager of Marketing & Technical Materials at Camfil USA. Camfil’s high efficiency commercial air filtration systems are used in a wide variety of industries worldwide. “They’re more alert. They show better cognitive performance thanks to improved oxygen flow. And they can even gain better general health.”

Los Angeles, CA, April 13, 2020 – Gina Zapanta and Mike Alder host a weekly virtual dance fundraiser on Facebook and Instagram, to help small businesses and healthcare professionals. They pledge $1 per viewer, up to $25,000 each week and buy meals for healthcare professionals working in emergency rooms.

Gina Zapanta and Mike Alder are lawyers and entrepreneurs, but first, they are community advocates. Like many businesses, they were in the midst of an expansion with the launch of their new worker’s compensation firm, ZapantaAlder Law. From one day to the next, it was no longer business as usual. COVID-19 hit Los Angeles and all was shut down.

Gina Zapanta is a pillar in the community and her family has been advocates in the healthcare community for two generations. Her father, the late Dr. Richard Zapanta, was a well-known orthopedic surgeon and a fierce advocate for building community and equitable access to healthcare and education. Closer than ever to the frontline during this pandemic, her brother Richard Zapanta is an ER registered nurse at LA County Hospital.

Mike Alder, a Louisiana native, is a successful Los Angeles trial lawyer and founder of Alder Law specializing in personal injury and employment law. He has been involved in many philanthropic efforts including as a founding member of The LA Trial Lawyers Charities and as a board member of the LA Inner City Law Center which advocates on behalf of the homeless.

Gina and Mike decided to take action to help small restaurants and healthcare professionals at the same time. They buy meals from local restaurants and serve 50-100 stressed-out healthcare workers – who often eat from vending machines or skip meals – per hospital across Los Angeles.

As they talked about the ways they can help, Gina and Mike knew that people also need a little joy and fun. So, they created a fun way to give back. Gina and Mike partnered with Loriann Serna of Wife of the Party, a well-known event producer in Los Angeles, to host a live Instagram and Facebook party with DJ Herick. The first week, Gina and Mike committed to donating $1 for every viewer, up to $25,000. That’s right, no donation needed. They just wanted to spread some joy and fun during these hard times and in return, they would make a donation to restaurants. In the first week, over 10,000 people viewed the party and that delivered over 1,000 meals. Week two was just as successful, delivering another 1,000 meals. In all, 18 hospitals and 22 restaurants have been helped.

As they gear up to do this week to week, they want to continue to spread joy and fun through dancing at home from your living room. Join Gina Zapanta, Mike Alder, and Wife of the Party each Saturday Night at 7pm PST to keep this going. This fun FUNraiser is now growing a movement that inspired others to do the same. Check out @ZapantaAlder and #ZAGives on Instagram and Facebook.
